Hi,

I'm currently developing a workflow for a MOSS portal and I'm
attempting to use the DelayForActivity. I'm using this in a while loop,
and I set the delay to be 1 minute in the properties of the activity in
VS.NET 2005. When I start the workflow the delay lasts 10 minutes
before the workflow wakes up, next time around the while loop the delay
lasys 20 minutes, then 30 minutes - what's going on here ? I've set the
delay to be 1 minute. If there was a sharepoint task that managed this
that ran once every 10 minutes I could understand the first delay being
10 minutes, but then surely all other delays should be 10 minutes too
when the service runs - I'm confused as the why they delay changes each
time through the while loop.

Anyone experienced this / know how this works ?

A second issue is that I can't even get the delay to expire on my
development machine, it just stays in the delay indefinetely. The only
way I can test this is to keep deploying to one of our test servers and
the delays seems to expire on that server.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
