Just wondering before I go through allot of trial what the best way to chain events and move on depending on result.

Here is process I have in simple terms..

1. check is file exist if so then Copy to a backup directory.
2. email files.
3. Delete files.

what I need it to do is check if file is there, if yes then copy and continue. If the file is not there then stop and exit untill next run time.

wouldnt want to get blank emails all the time so this would be the way to do it.

thanks for any help.

Use the following in a chain:

Step 1:
File Monitor task
Task title = filemon
directory = c:\test
set Option: if exit code > -1, go to step 100 (exit chain)
note: if file is found, exit code = -100

Step 2:
Copy task
Filename = $%filemon::Filenames%$
source dir = c:\test
target dir = c:\backup
If exit code > 0 , go to step 100

Step 3:
Email task
Attachment field: [DIR]c:\test[FILE]$%filemon::Filenames%$
if exit code >0 , go to step 100

Step 4:
delete task
source dir = c:\test
filename = $%filemon::Filenames%$
