I wouldn't worry about using [spawn] since the trigger has nothing better to do than wait for the stuff to complete. In fact, I would have a check later on the page that the stuff completed properly and e-mail myself if it didn't, so you cannot use [spawn] in that instance.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
