I can *imagine* that telling any program to close/flush a file that is already open in SimpleText would somehow confuse the filesystem into bumping its index into the next file in the list. We use BBEdit most often here, which always closes the file after reading it.The other possbility is that you've accidentally got db=template.tpl somewhere in your WebDNA, which causes WebCatalog to try to interpret that file as a database, and would indeed rewrite it out as a tab-delimited file.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
