app not getting called

Question

Was not sure where to post this.
Anyway, I have a c# console app that accepts 3 params. It then does a file copy, calls a stored proc, then updates a log file. We are calling this app 300 times in succession(sometimes as fast as once a second). I am getting intermittant failures. By this I mean it just doesnt fire at all.
Our goal is for the sql agent/job to build a pdf form data, then call this exe, which moves the file and publishes it to a portal.
Any thoughts on a better way to do this or what may be happening?

I can't find anything either. Even the VS tool C++ Error Lookup can't find the corresponding message.

ok, it seems that I can substitute notepad.exe for my app when call by rcmd thru a bat file and never fail.
But my app fails intermittanty, never even getting to the first line of code and returns an error code: -10737418919
Any idea what that means? Google returned nothing for it.

You know that crossed my mind, but not sure how to test for it since the app never makes it to line 1(or even gets called).

Could it have anything to do with connection problems? If anything, the bottleneck is in querying the data. Maybe a time-out exception? etc.

I can't think of any other issue. Sorry :(

Nope, pulled all of the logging out and still randomly fails.
All 350 files are unique. very strange.

You know that could be possible. I do write to a log file from the app during the process. I will turn off loggin and see if we can get it to fail...
thanks

When you execute the app for 300 times. Could it be that 2 instances are running and trying to access a 'already in use' file or log?
