Nigel,
That is exactly what I am looking for. The delay that is hard scripted in my
watched folder script hangs up when a lot of files are added all at once, so
I guess I am just trying to figure out how to keep the watched folder script
running consistent. I will give it a try...
Thanks, Chad

Sort of a replacement to checking the "busy" flag.
