Thanks, and yes in a perfect world I would run it as a client / server process. However in this instance I am updating a minor portion of servers that I do not have complete say over. So I am attempting to use only existing items on the server side. (where I put "print" in my example I have a telnet proc that runs an EXE on the remote box)

As for "threads" I am worried about the stability of it when running in a Windows NT environment.

Thanks, BRN
