That is the correct procedure -- upload the new database, then issue a FlushDatabases command (or embedded [flushdatabases]) should force it to unload everything and reload from disk the next time a db is needed. Make sure there's not some problem with your browser caching, such that it doesn't really send the command to the server (perhaps super-reload the URL with the $FlushDatabases).Oh, there is one issue with 2.01 -- if the database is a Merge format, then WebCatalog will think it's 'dirty' and overwrite what's on disk when you flush. Perhaps you should flush, then upload, then flush again. It's a long way to the principal's office.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
