    Question

    Can anybody help me.

    I have a program that is going to run about 600 command line operations. Each one is seperate. I need to limit the machines processes due to memory issues so would like to run only about 100 at a time. Is this possible and if so, can someone help.

    Greatfully
    Alex.

    Use loops :
    Code:
    For i = 1 to 100
   'first process here
Next i

For i2 = 1 to 100
   'Second process here
Next i
    Etc. The second won't start until the first has finished.
    (BTW - use a doevents in there too)!
