Hi. To my mind the only possibility is to cancel the duplicate job to-be-run with a "run before job script" (I've posted my check-job.sh in this list multiple times previously) and to avoid these cancelled full jobs causing the next one being full too, you have to have "rerun failed jobs = no". -- Silver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
