Hi Viv,

I did not express myself correctly, sorry, I should've said "might be interrupted" instead of "can be interrupted", for I do not know the answer, thus I assume that either way is possible and try to code accordingly (not sure if I succeeded, but I did not see any problem in my program after more than a year of running 24/7, only down time is for upgrades or network problems).

Good question anyways, unfortunately I do not have the answer

Admittedly I'm thinking in terms of hardware interupts here but the same logic would surely need to be present in this scenario. The alternative would surely be chaos <g>. I also don't know which of the above would have the highest priority but I'd bet on the Comm event.
