texte = I'm still using 4.51 on MS Server 2003 Every now and then webdna does "hang" and I need a reboot to get things in order, but that happens very very very infrequently..... Just restarting webdna doesn't seem to do the trick, I need a whole reboot, which always seems unusual. I'm moving all the sites over to a new server this weekend and will keep tabs on this issue to se if will happen on a newer cleaner setup..... lester --- On Tue, 5/20/08, Colin Sidwell
