I'm actually passing an Append command to the db, and I didn't have Append in the list of allowed non-admin commands, as Chris Allman suggest. I added Append to that list and the problem is now solved!Thanks again, Chris!Cheers,Steve------------------------------------------------ Steven Jarvis Web Developer sjarvis@nwaonline.netMorning News of Northwest Arkansas http://www.nwaonline.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
