Fine Guy. You can do it if you are careful... but it does put your log at risk. It is using DX4Win in a way it is NOT designed to be used. If you need concurrent access there are logging programs that ARE designed to do it. Just because you can drive a nail with a wrench doesn't mean you should... unless you don't have a hammer handy ;-)
