To some degree you are right! If the vbs issues only some "primitive" sql commands, like select au_fname from authors where zip=678678678 (the authors is a table in the pubs database in SQL Server) then it works even without threading it. But if the vbs issues e.g. this command for sql server: "waitfor delay '000:00:05'; raiserror ('AAA',10,1) with nowait;" then things go messed and confused... and the code refuses to work in only one (main) thread. In short, see this my topic on an sql server forum: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=48619 Btw, I have NOT yet seen any WORKING C# code for my subject. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
