Hello Alan, Yes, all the EXE's are the same.
I do that for sending emails. I add the emails to a queue and another program reads the que and sends the emails. I can't do that for this part of the job because I can get many transactions coming in at the same time and have to process them and return the answer as fast as possible. Since VFP is not multi-threaded, the only way I could get this to work is have a VB program sit in front of the VFP programs and act as a traffic cop. This setup is working great and as the client grows, he can add more computers to split the load. Currently we have 3 computers running a VB traffic cop and about 5 to 20 VFP programs on each one. Even better news, we have had an no 1104 errors since last Friday when we turned on our mini-close routine.

Are all these EXEs identical? If so why not have one EXE and have your VB side append requests to a queue, and the VFP side pop items off it and process them ? -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/286924A2F2DC4DB285C18E4679858FC2@LaptopW7 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
