Trust me. They won't. Jobs of the same priority are always run in the order queued. A job queued at 12:34 will always run before one queued at 12:35. Unless you are allowing more than one concurrent job. In which case, priority will be your best bet. But I don't recall you mentioning concurrent jobs. -- Dan Langille -- http://www.langille.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
