Hi Robert and Richard, Robert, thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try. This may be the problem as I was able to download 60,000 of 130,000 files without a problem until it stopped. When I restarted the loop, it stopped roughly every 200. On Sat, Apr 25, 2015, at 4:44 AM,Robert Brenstein

Hi Gregory, I would probably use the load command because it's a non-blocking way to do it - it doesn't prevent interaction while it's working. Maybe something like this (I didn't test this): -- button -- on mouseUp doDownload end mouseUp -- card or stack -- # required: # fld status #
