Boston WebStation is currently configured as a single instance object,
but it can talk to multiple instances of Internet Explorer in a single
script. So you could do the following with object calls to the
WebStation, as in:
Dim C as Connect, W as WebStation
Set C = New Connect
For i = 1 to 10
Set W = C.WBConnect(i)
If At("Page1") then script1(i)
If At("Page2") then script2(i)
...
Next i
The script couldn't use Pause commands because they would get stuck
there during page changes, so that instead of commands that pause for a
web page you would have to say "if I'm on a web page then fill it out"
and if not then return and give up control to another session. Since
waiting for web pages is the major delay in Web scripting, this should
give you practically unlimited capacity.

Subject: [Talk] Multiple Boston WebStation Sessions on one PC
We have an application that uses Boston WebStation to get Medicaid
Eligiibility information via the Internet. Currently, we have over 100
users going through one PC via hospital network to request eligibility.
Our problem is that at times the State website gets extremely slow,
increasing our individual response times from about 20 sec to over 1
min. When the State website is slow, the request que gets very long and
it can be 4 or 5 minutes before an individual receives the results of
his inquiry.
We would like to run 2 or 3 instances of WebStation simultaneously to
get our response times back down.
Has anyone worked with running multiple simultaneous sessions of Boston
WebStation on the same PC?
We also have a Medicare Eligibility application that uses Boston
WorkStation and I have successfully run 1 WorkStation and 1WebStation
app simultaneously.
