texte = Thanks Micheal,If it was on your server, could you say what else was running on it at that time? We've had problems recently with LogDoor and FunnelWeb both of which deal with log files and writing files. I'm just speculating, but I need to find out what caused this data corruption and keep it from ever happening again.In this particular case it occurred to a database in which a client tracks banner advertisements. These are the numbers that verify for their advertising clients that they are getting what they are paying for.Thanks, paul>On Tue, 4 Apr 2000 13:55:36 > Paul Uttermohlen
