Hi Rick: I don't know exactly what insert-tab does. Do you know if WindowEyes is handling the processing or is Microsoft handling the processing you are finding a problem? It would seem a WindowEyes problem from your description since it sounds like they have a UI Dialog and that Dialog is hanging up when some processing is taking place. They should be able to use a async method(s) to allow the Dialog to continue reading normally. I don't know how multi-threaded async processing is handled in vbscript, their language of choice, but it is not dificult in the language(s) I work in these days. Also, Microsoft is continuing the drive twoard supporting async versions of most of their internal methods and most are available for use within the .net platform. Your idea of spinning the task off to a background thread will also work to keep the UI active even without async methods. I cant figure out anything else as I don't know what insert-tab does nor if Microsoft is handling the long-running process or WindowEyes is handling it but in either case async and, in my language(s) Await could be used quite easily to keep the UI active and the client, you, notified about processing status of the task. Later and good thought on using a background thread - that would work. Rick USA
