Hello Alan,

Yes, all the EXE's are the same.

I do that for sending emails. I add the emails to a queue and another

program reads the que and sends the emails.

I can't do that for this part of the job because I can get many transactions

coming in at the same time and have to process them and return the answer as

fast as possible. Since VFP is not multi-threaded, the only way I could get

this to work is have a VB program sit in front of the VFP programs and act

as a traffic cop.

This setup is working great and as the client grows, he can add more

computers to split the load. Currently we have 3 computers running a VB

traffic cop and about 5 to 20 VFP programs on each one.

Even better news, we have had an no 1104 errors since last Friday when we

turned on our mini-close routine.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

Kent

Are all these EXEs identical? If so why not have one EXE and have your VB

side append requests to a queue, and the VFP side pop items off it and

process them ?
