Hi,

I was wondering if any one could help with regards to starting rules and triggering workflows.

I have a folder that I monitor with various starting rules and create a report of the various actions placed upon the folder.

When a user deletes, copies, moves, creates or renames a document I have been able to create a starting rule to cover the modification to the folder.

At the moment I'm struggling to create a starting rule for overwriting a document. The document is versioned so it is possible to drop another document on top of it. I tried to catch this with a 'document change' rule but unfortunately it triggers the rule twice and hence my workflow runs twice almost simultaneously bringing its own problems.

I can only assume the act of overwriting takes two actions to complete.

When I check the %(rulename) and the initiator of the two running workflows they are the same so I know it is not workflow or changes in the first workflow that are starting the second workflow.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I could get around this issue.

Cheers.
