Dear Friends I want Mathematica check the DVD presence into the CD-ROM driver and execute myFunction[] when it become available, so I try something like SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]; Off[SetDirectory::"cdir"]; Print["Start"]; While[SetDirectory["d:\\"] == $Failed, Pause[1]]; Print["Stop"]; but it's an unsuccessful trick, because it makes the Retry, Abort, Continue message box rise, invoking the user's act, just exactly what I want to avoid. Any way out? Thanks you all for the gentle and skillful answers I always get. Best regards. Ignacio Plazeta
