Hi all I am trying to create a workflow where part of the acction is done by Win, then some part by Mac. Win and Mac part a working fine by themself. Parallels runs Windows XP The Win part creates a file inside the Win directory. This same directory is visable on the Mac side but does not update when Win saves the file. Consequently Automator does not see the update and never starts the next part of the process on the Mac side. How can I force the update on the Mac side? Thanks for any help Romano
