hmmm. I don't have CF on that server or the reporting station that is picking up the weblogs.
I did have my import script filtering some of the data though, my intention was to do most of the filter during import, but I resorted to doing most in a trigger. If I get back to worrying about it, I may look for something that can filter the files and execute the import to the database.

There are some advantages that way. I do a little cleaning on the front end to eleminate the garbage requests from code red and to exclude entries from internal hits and scheduled tasks. What I do is scan the directory, grab a file, clean it , append into db, rename the file so that it won't be included again. I have it set up to handle multiple websites in multiple directories going into multiple databases and it seems to work fine. I still handle a lot of the processing via an insert trigger in the db. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Dawson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 3:50 PM Subject: Re: OT Modifying Source File in DTS package > makes sense.
