Mark,
I create PDF files from reports and then email them as attachments. Here is a prg I use to make sure the pdf is ready (I check for the file and then make sure the byte count is not zero):

* WaitForFileToWrite.prg	-	Wait for file to finish getting written to
*
* This prg was created to address a problem with pdf email attachments.  I believe
* that the pdfs weren't finished being written to before blat email them out... result was
* email with no attachment.  This prg will delay the system until a non-zero byte count
* is established.

*/* TO DO: ADD ERROR HANDLING SHOULD THIS PRG FAIL!
LPARAMETERS m.lcAttachment
LOCAL m.lnAtt
LOCAL ARRAY laAtt[1]
LOCAL m.ltStart, m.llExit
m.ltStart = DATETIME()
m.llExit = .f.

DO WHILE NOT m.llExit
	IF FILE(m.lcAttachment)
* file exists, loop until file size is not zero or 5 minutes passes
		m.ltStart = DATETIME()
		DO WHILE .T.
* exit if 2 minutes have passed
			IF DATETIME() - m.ltStart > 120
				m.llExit = .t.
				EXIT
			ENDIF
* get adir() of the attachment
			m.lnAtt = ADIR(laAtt, m.lcAttachment)
			IF m.lnAtt > 0
* array exists
				IF laAtt[2] > 0
* file size is not zero!  OK to leave!
					m.llExit = .t.
					EXIT
				ENDIF
			ENDIF
		ENDDO
	ELSE
* loop for 2 minutes if file not found
		IF DATETIME() - m.ltStart > 120
			m.llExit = .t.
			EXIT
		ENDIF
	ENDIF
ENDDO
