I thought that the "Wait>WaitTime" was not running as part of "IFFileExists" = True, but it appears once again I was wrong.

Thanks for the help.

Progress bar

I have 2 problems in getting this script to do what I need: 1 - Start script counter on open (i.e., remove the "Start" button). I know what part of the script to remove to get rid of the start button, but I would like to...

sigh....

OK, then I expect that I will have to explore a variation of the DBQuery script that mtettmar suggested; unless someone has another direction to suggest.

This is evident iIf I run the script "n" times there are "n" Excel.exe processes running in the XP Process Manager. This seems to be an Excel problem, and does not have anyt...
