Change the name to .log >and be safe...WebDNA does not open files as database files just because their names end in .db. It only opens files as database files when search, append, replace or delete references the file in the proper location. Unless you are suggesting that webdna has a bug in it that allows it to open these files without being called in the above manner ... but since no one has ever seen (or at least reported) any evidence of this, I think it's some other kind of problem. -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome ------------------------------------------------------------- My programmers will write WebDNA code for you at $27 an hour! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
