When perl is running you do not normally get a prompt back (unless you run it in the background on a unixish OS). When perl has completed you will be returned to the prompt if that is where you ran it from. How exactly are you invoking your perl script, by vb do you mean you are running it from Visual Basic ? If you can give us some more details someone will be able to help When windows is involved I should just keep my mouth shut :( Read the node holi++ points to and ignore me. Cheers, R.
