gv -
thanx again for all the time and suggestions...
I have excluded \iSiloXC fromthe "Start In" line to no avail...
I have re-downloaded and re-installed both iSiloX and XC and redone the Scheduled Task from scratch with the same results...
I'm beginning to think this is a Windows XP issue??...
Anyhow its driving me **#@$% crazy...
Thanx again
