It's easier now for the most part. In the era of huge CMS populations taking DIRMAINT down was near impossible. I always do two DIRM directs, or two DIRECTXA's. A habit to make sure there is enough space for two directories, which is the way CP wants it. Happy dirmainting - if such a thing is possible - just kidding! David
