>>Thanks again. I certainly will look into this. Do you have any suggested reading materials? I sure could use some.

>www.eps-software.com's CoDe magazine had an article by Markus Egger, it must have been either the 1st or 2nd issue. Speaking of which, in the latest CoDe, Rick Strahl wrote something about async messages. I think that used a file based trigger, might be worth a look.

Your inputs saved me a lot of possible future headaches. I know COM requires a different mindset than what I've been used to: working in VFP. I just hope my efforts won't become obsolete soon by the .Net thing.

I have two CoDe issues from the Orlando VFP Devcon (them, right?, should be here somewhere...). And speaking of the new CoDe mag; I think I've registered for the free subscription as well. Or was that a different magazine, better check out my mails.
