Work?<BR>>If the requested start for a dialog work item is reached, the
work item is placed in the Workflow Inboxes of the recipients.<BR>>If the
requested start for a background is reached, the workflow system starts
automatically with the execution of the work item.<BR>>Whether the
requested start has been reached is checked by the background job for missed
deadline that is run periodically.<BR><BR><BR>Rick Sample | Office (314)
