Immediately after receiving a closedatabase, WC could receive hits prior to receiving the deletefile. There's an old copy loaded in RAM, aimed at blowing away the new copy you have just written to disk, baby. (Sorry, the gun metaphore made my testosterone gland tingle.)I think you have to quit WebStar & WebCat CGI, replace the db & relaunch. It would be great if you could use a tag to flush RAM & stop processing of all WC commands, etc., except for file manipulations, then resume full processing after file manipulations were complete.-Pat
