So have they changed the way it returns things or something. Because with the same code on the same machine, but 1 exe built in vfp8 and 1 in vfp9, I run the vfp8 exe and a 238K pdf is built, run the one in vfp9 and a 1K pdf is built and does not open.

and if lnWait is 0 and WAIT_TIMEOUT is 0x00000102, then it executes the first part of the if statement, which is exit. It should be doing the 2nd part which is doevent, I believe, until the pdf build is done.

Thanks for the help,
Beth
