Logging does work in 1.01, but the thing the manual doesn't tell you, is
that for performance reasons, Spectra stores up the log information, and
only writes it out the the file after a certain amount of time.
Unfortunatly, I too spent a great deal of time wondering why it wasn't
working, until I ripped apart the code.
The problem with logging out to a database is the network traffic. I
configure logging to log out to the file, and only have one report with a
process handler, that copies the logging data over to a database table. All
the other process handlers create thier reports from this table, making the
process handlers easier to code, and faster, since you can use the DB engine
to the hard work.
