Eric Lachance Unregistered	Stuart, This depends on your settings. In the Workflow Preferences, under the Messenger group, you will find an option to control the number of instances to run. By default, the maximum number of instances is the same as the number of cores in your system, but you can change this if you need to. Note that it's not recommended to have too many instances running at once. Not only will they share cores and not run any faster, but it will actually make processing exponentially slower the more instances run at the same time (unless this has changed since version 7.1).

stuartg OL Expert Registered: 03/06/03 Posts: 713 Loc: Swindon, England	Eric Thank you for your help. I want to reduce the number of concurrent instances because I am getting errors when two instances both try to access the same files at the same time. The PlanetPress form I am using has attached postscript files. I am getting Invalid-file-access errors on these attachments. Quote: INFO: Starting conversion...

stuartg OL Expert Registered: 03/06/03 Posts: 713 Loc: Swindon, England	Is it possible to configure ppalmbic so that every instance creates temporary files in a different folder? This would remove the clash, and stop this error happening. thanks Stuart
