behaviour, but of course we are most likely not on the same support package etc.
However, it sounds real strange, and I have several workflows with background
action steps after wait for event steps. I have never seen a problem like the
one you describe.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>In particular I have a workflow that I checked just now
where I have a 4-branch fork with a wait for event and a following background
action step (and then a create event) where the fork needs to complete one
branch. No problem. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>It may be that I haven't interpreted what's written quite
correct. Maybe Paul's solution is a little different, it is the event
receiver that completes the fork and the action step follows the fork no matter
what completes it. However, it sounds *really* strange that this should be a
problem. When, in addition, the development and production systems don't have
the problem it is even more unlikely that the problem is caused by the flow
definition.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

before and have come to the conclusion that you cannot have an executable step
after a Wait for Event step. It was strange because sometimes the executable
step would work and most of the time it didn't. That was on a 4.6C system. I
now make it a point to use a Container Operation step and then use a Condition
step after the end of the fork.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
