I am using Version 10.5

How do I know the transfer worked:
Here is my code:

LPARAMETERS tiBusLocID as Integer,tlAndWait as Boolean 
IF VARTYPE(tiBusLocID )="L"
	tiBusLocID =2
ENDIF 

#DEFINE CL_STORE ["C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\awrem32.exe" ]

CLOSE DATABASES  ALL 
lcStoreAW=[ "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\pcAnywhere\Store]+TRANSFORM(tiBusLocID)+[_ToHQ.CHF"]

lccommandline = ["C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\awrem32.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\pcAnywhere\Store2_ToHQ.CHF"]
*lcCommandLine	= CL_STORE + lcStoreAW
ox=NEWOBJECT( "api_apprun", "modules\process", "", lcCommandLine)
IF tlAndWait 
	ox.LaunchAppAndWait()
ELSE 
	ox.LaunchApp()
ENDIF 

ox=null

and the portion calling this routine:

IF TransferFromStore(liStoreID)
	** transfer went OK
	** delete the xfer tables
	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\SO_hq.dbf")
	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\SO_hq.fpt")

	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\SOITEM_hq.dbf")

	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\FINXN_hq.dbf")

	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\CDRAWER_hq.dbf")
	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\CDRAWER_hq.fpt")

	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\CCheck_hq.dbf")

	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\INVOICE_hq.dbf")

	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\audit_hq.dbf")
	DELETE FILE ("ToHQ\audit_hq.fpt")

ELSE 
	MESSAGEBOX(MESSAGE_BAD_TRANSFER,4096+48,"Transfer Error",10000)
ENDIF 

ANd the problem is if I just let AW run without the wait It is still connecting while VFP is already deleting the files.
Thats why I youe Ed's method
But that needs user intervention.
I would pefer FTP but the client does not have internet connection and IIS
Is there another, better way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

By the way are you going to Milwaukee??

I'm speculating here, but it looks like if you set up an Auto Transfer File in your connection properties and mark it to 'run upon connection', then run your connection with Ed's API_AppRun like we just talked about, that should do it.
