texte = OK, yes (if you are right) - assuming the perms are fine.. still my =20 point was something else - that maybe the error message is not that =20 perms are wrong, but that the db is unavailable because the underlying =20= OS is still busy with the file (setting the perms) - because of that =20 [shell] line. Maybe that is silly (because the webdna executes line by line and =20 waits for the perm setting to be done before trying to execute the =20 next line of code?).. but if it were me, I would want to know if the =20 problem was still there even if that [shell] line was not there. Did =20= you test without that [shell] line? If you have, and the problem is still there.. then: I would play with [listfields] (and [ListDatabases]?), step by step, =20= one at a time. build up from absolute bare bones simple first baby =20 step.. adding one thing at a time until you see where it breaks. I have used both of those contexts in fairly complex scenarios even.. =20= and so far I am happy with them. Try getting simpler examples of =20 those contexts running (clearly they are valid contexts) and slowly =20 massage to where you need them. Then post again here, from scratch, =20= where it is breaking.. as if the first post on the topic. -Govinda On Apr 23, 2010, at 2:42 PM, William DeVaul wrote: > Good point.
