Thanks, but the %PROGRAMNAME%.log file is being created with the correct name, so it doesn't appear to be a case issue in the template line, which works fine, rather in the expression filter line, with the comparison '$hostname <> $myhostname' and variations always being true unless I replace the RHS with the literal 'rack1a'. Playing with the cases there doesn't change a thing. Any other ideas?
