I need someone to help me with this. Several people have tried with different approches but none have worked so far.

I have a folder that is populated with .ps files from another app that many users are printing from. My fist step with my watch app is to create a new folder with the base name of each set of files with the same base name then create a STRTOFILE file and put into the new directory also. This I have done with no problem. Note this is done to batch for processing.

The next step is to Run /N2 acrodist.exe &sdewse2(strtofile). This is where my problem lies. I need this to run unattended so I can't phyisically exit Distiller with each batch finishing. So I need a way to halt the execution of the VFP code until the batch is finished. Then run the next one.

I have tried to use FOPEN() and FClose() but then I get an error that Distiller can't open the file randomly.

I need a way to tell that distiller is executing a job and let me know when it is finished.
