It must be that flock works only on NT and Windows 2000. I tried your flock code and got the same failure on a Windows 98 machine, but it ran without error on a Windows 2000 server machine (ActiveState 626). Thanks for your help.

No worries. I posted a question at Flock 'n Windows if you want to see all the systems that don't support flock. Using a semaphore is the workaround. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]
