I've been looking up this issue for awhile now and haven't gotten to far. HEre is what I am trying to do.

I want to check for text files to see if they are there first (all of them), then if they are, run the different DTS's packages, if they aren't, retry X amount of times and if they still aren't there after X amount of times, run an activex script to send me an email.

I'm having problems with the retry part. In ActiveX, there is DTSStepScriptResult_RetryLater. But I don't know how you can set an interval delay. I don't want to create a loop because I don't want the server to be tied up, I just want it to sleep every minute (For example).
