Thank you very much. I was indeed wondering about my VenueServer. I run VenueServer from the directory where .dat file is everytime, but I often have to reconfigure my server all over again. I shut the server down just by closing the window, but it seems that if I use VenueManagment to close the server than all my virtual venues are intact. Is it really necessary to close it that way? I saw in the archives this is was known as a problem last January, has anyone fixed this. It can be frustrating setting up all the rooms each and every time. Benedikt.
