>You're running the release copy, as opposed to what I have here - try KillProc() rather than TerminateApp().

In the Do While Loop, terminating the process after 3 attempts in about 5-10 seconds is not realistic - since it does take a while to computer. At times, the host computer many be busy - or at some point in time the transfer of files take a while. IOW what can i institute in place of waiting for 5-10 seconds before KillProc() kicks in. It would'nt be nice to introduce killProc() when pcAnywhere is transferring files. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
