Hi, I have 3 tasks running, each monitoring a different directory but making a ZIP file (of each sub folder) in the same directory on a separate drive.

All's been going fine for years but suddenly 1 of the tasks gives this error at start up

SyncPoint ThreadID: 0x4A70 -- EXCPETION!

the other 2 tasks are performing correctly .. all tasks have the same settings except for the monitored folder

Hello Bruce,

Maybe the history database became corrupt.

Make sure the task is stopped.
In the WD Control Center, select the menu "Tools -> Explore Task Directory".
This opens explorer, typically inside C:\ProgramData\WatchDirectory.
Navigate to the subdirectory having the same name as the task.
Delete the file(s) with names starting with "history".
Unzip this empty db: www.watchdirectory.net/img/forum/history.zip

If that doesn't help, enable "Debug" and run the task until you see the error.
Then stop the task and send (email!) me a backup.
See http://blog-en.gdpsoftware.com/2010/06/send-task-backup-to-support.html for details.

Hi Gert, yep, that's done the trick, thanks
