But I think 2.0and up is smarter than the older beta >stuff, cause I can't remember doing this in a long time.The new WebCatalog checks the modification date and loads newly-modified copies of its templates automatically, thus you should no longer have to use the $FlushTemplates command. But flushing *databases* is another story ...To be completely safe about changing your database files manually, either quit the WebCat CGI, or if you're using the plugin quit WebSTAR, until you're done modifying a database file manually.The second-safest method (which will usually work) is to modify a *copy* of your database, then use the &FlushDatabases command immediately before replacing the original with your newly-modified copy.Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions 808-737-6499 http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html
