Default Poll Time in the 'Wait For File Activity' stage

Just trying to find out if anyone knows what the "default poll time" is for this stage - ie, how often it checks to see if a file is there or not there.

The manual shows that "poll delay time" for the function it calls (DSWaitForFile) can be overriden but the Sequencer code doesn't allow that. In that case "a default poll time is used". Anyone know what that is?

Thanks,

I was wondering the exact same thing. I tried searching on Google without any success.

Ah! A blast from the past. :wink:

Actually, did get an answer to this... just not here, but over on ADN. From the post:

There you go!

Geez Craig, trying to raise your points. We will never catch you anyway. Neat trick answering your own questions.

Any idea what to do with all these points? Do you think I finally have enough for that pony?

Thanks. I need a good laugh every Monday morning. Start my week off right.
