Question for you though; I have a cursor which performs a number of actions on databases (CBCC CheckDB & Shrinkdatabase) as well as backs them up and zips them. How would I best use a waitfor command (SQL 2000) to make sure the steps aren't overlapping or leapfrogging the other? A time based variable may just cause more problems as far as I can see (may be too long or too short), so is this possible or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks, Mosab verry interesting,
