Hi Rick,

Thank you for answer.

We have 5 hp-servers dedicated for transmission process.
*Transmission: because we receive operations from our agents and branches, via FTP, but the process is controlled by our Web Servers (West-wind com objects), wich responds to the "client program (installed at agents)" requests. The trasmission process has several steps, one of them sending/receiving encrypted files.
*Each hp-server(w2000server) has 10 - 15 w-wServers (COM) running.

The case is: we have being monitoring the transmission process with our branch in SPAIN, happens that when this branch transmit, one of the steps in the process takes time to be processed here(at central), and I dont know why the process begins in another server, so, there are two ww-servers running the same process at same time with a diference of 3-6 seconds in average. This situation causes conflicts and errors.

I want to know:
1. How can I control the process does not begin in another ww-server, being that the request was made once.(remember the process at client is controlled and executed by our software, the user does not uses de browser to execute it, so, there is no way for user mistakes, and our program executes the "Request" once).
2.If there is no way to do this, or how to know the reason. Migh I know, through functions, methods, etc. of West Wind, Windows API,... IF there are two or more wwservers running the same process as answer for same request comming for same Client(IP)?? ... How each wwserver communicate each to other?... Perhaps, in that way I can handle the situation and avoid conflicts.

Thanks a lot, I expect you understand the situation.
