I can*imagine* that telling any program to close/flush a file that is alreadyopen in SimpleText would somehow confuse the filesystem into bumping itsindex into the next file in the list. We use BBEdit most often here, whichalways closes the file after reading it.The other possbility is that you've accidentally got db=template.tplsomewhere in your WebDNA, which causes WebCatalog to try to interpret thatfile 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 | Typhoon619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
