    Hi Hugo,



    Yes, you are correct that Network Suite runs tests simultaneously on different machines. So, with the help of synchronization points supported by Network Suite functionality, it is possible to execute SQL statements (almost) concurrently. Maybe, this will correspond to what Mel needs.

    However, if the task is to measure time required to transfer data from one location to another, I think that it might be more easy and with a much better precision to process SQL transaction logs and get the time when data arrived from there.

    (Though I am also far not sure that I correctly got the initial problem...)

VBScript by definition is single-threaded, although a COM object could perform operations asynchronously. You can also make asynchronous calls to the API, but then you have to handle the return event manually and all sorts of ugly code ensues.



Your best bet would be to write a small COM-visible library in .NET to wrap your asynchronous calls and handle them gracefully, and call that from your script.
