Thanks for the quick response, I agree that multi-instance sub processes should fix the issue.I will go ahead and re-implement with sub processes.

Love your book by the way, easy to follow.

Following on from the last question, the multi-instance sub processes create the multiple tasks, but only one timer is created. I checked the database and job count variable, just one timer is created even though there are five tasks created.

I just realized that I was testing the timer from the wrong spot.
