Hi Derek

Thanks for the info...had not thought of PCanywhere - however we do currently use Cute FTP for file transfers...I'm not sure whether I can schedule a time to dial up and transfer the file in Cute FTP? I'll check it out...

Thanks again

Chris

Once the "connection" has been created manually, which would automatically dial the remote location and transfer the required file, you need only create a scheduler style APP in VFP to make a procedure call to PCAnywhere that instructs it to dial-up the connection.
