Hi Gary
I refer to your email where you expressed disappointment that I had not replied to your reply here.
I have been extremely busy over the last few days and had a few tight deadlines to meet. so apologies for not expressing my appreciation to yourself and all the other respndenets here.
I do appreciate your replies.
Regards,
Gerard



>For Gerard's stated requirement, the BackgroundWorker component is in-appropriate. Firstly, it is really targeted for use with forms. Running a couple of loops at the same time doesn't sound like a typical form oriented task.

>Also, BackgroundWorker requires at least one event handler to be created and can use upto three. For Gerard's requirement, he wants to run two loops (or more) on separate threads - this would require two BackgroundWorker components, and consequently two "DoWork" event handlers - one to handle each independent loop.
