Any ideas???Since it is a CGI, it supports the standard WebSTAR AppleEvent that processes incoming CGI requests. This means you can simulate the effects of a URL being sent from the outside.Or, more simply, you can tell it to Quit and all databases will be flushed and it will restart itself quickly on the next URL hit.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
