However, the issue here is not how to find a work-around, the issue is that the NT version seems to require this before it will work properly. If I simply want to include the *current* data stored in the disk file, instead of what's cached in RAM, I ought to be able to do this without using [flushdatabases].But it doesn't work properly because instead of including the file as it exists on disk, the line breaks in the db file are ignored, thus screwing up the formatting -- as well as causing my MIME header code to fail.There are TWO unanswered question here:1- Why do I need to flush the data to disk on NT in order to make webcat include a database with its formatting intact?2- Why can't I use [closedatabase] instead? After all, the closedatabase tag is *supposed to* work just like the flushdatabases tag -- but on one database instead of on all of them.================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499, http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
