>>>Recently, the module was moved to high-power server (256M RAM) and testing it I saw that sometimes VFP works too fast, i.e. stamps consecutive report files with the same time (the same second) that can mislead printing module. So, I had to 'slow down' the system adding WAIT WINDOW "" timeout 1.0 on start of report routine ::)

>>Ed, could you use SYS(2015) to name those files if you wanted to? I believe that the alphanumeric string it returns is always unique, always ascending, no? If so, you could just pick the lowest ordinal value of all files so named as the "next in queue" to be printed. Exact date/timestamp of file is then no longer an issue.

>I kindly appreciate this, but again it wasn't a question :). BTW, I'm not sure that SYS(2015) is applicable here, as you could guess from my posting file name itself already contains some specific information and just has no space for more information (interim log can contain up to 20K files).

Take it as a compliment. Everyone is jumping at the chance to help Edward "the franchise" Pikman :-)
