JJ,

There is a saying going along the lines of "the mother of all f*ckups is to 
assume something".

You're right, the problem isn't VBS, but the program itself.    Yesterday, 
just before turning in, I realized that the actual program is launched by a 
helper program (of my own hand).  Which uses a WaitForInputIdle timeout of 5 
seconds.  It looks like that the actual program (sometimes) takes more than 
that.

I've increased the timeout and changed the single beep to something a bit 
more "thats not the system thats complaining" sound.

Thanks for the help. :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
