<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=907070003-21062005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>It's not generally a good idea to put deadlines directly on
terminating events such as "wait for event". </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=907070003-21062005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'm
not clear on what you are trying to achieve in your business scenario. Do
you not want to handle the event at all if it occurs within 2 days of work item
creation? Or do you want to take action at work item + 2 days regardless of
whether the event has arrived or not?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

i've used task "Wait for event" and i want that this event is to subjected to a
time constraint so, in my task i put information delay : "work item
creation" + 2 days. Ok. Now, when the deadline is arrived, in the workflow's
protocol i can watch that the deadline is arrived but workflow don't connect to
other connection like obsolete or deadline.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
