I had a problem once with the logs. See http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg69091.html for a detailed explanation. My guess is that the problem was a corrupted file, and not a TB! problem per se. It seems as if the info is still being written to the log file, but it's not saving correctly because of the corruption. When I had the problem, I checked the file date modified time for the log file and the time indicated that they were being updated, but nothing new was in the files. I don't know how TB! could detect corruption in the log files unless it would somehow go back and check what it had just written to see if it was saved. -- Regards, Terry Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
