It might just be me, but is there anyway to suppress a "file reference not found" dialog (usually presents itself when a file reference can't be located on start up i.e. over network link).

I would like to catch for this error so that i can output to a log file - the log file isnt the hard bit, it's just i can't work out where to catch the error (set error capture[on]) doesnt seem to work in this case and seeing as what i am trying to do is a critical unattended task on a "robot" machine, i can't have the dialog holding up the rest of my process.

I don't think so, your SFI'ing is pennywise but pound foolish! If your network isn't up to an all-tables-in-one file, instead deploy the solution on a Citrix server. Your separation model can still work if the interface file and the datafile best are maintained by separation - but both reside on FMS. By this are you as user either online or offline, not anything between.

Better yet, ill just watch for the process to finish in VB or something, if its not done in 15 minutes, run it again.

Meh, i've decided to just kill, run, kill, run, kill, run. In case it ever brings up the file reference could not be found dialog it gets killed. Otherwise, the run script will exit the app when it's done anyway, so no harm done.
