It shouldn't have anything to do with the file name. I tried a few other names and didn't have any problems. I'm not sure if there is a bug or not, but no one else has had this problem and I can't see anything in the code that could cause the effect you are seeing other than drag and drop. >However, maybe Analog is the wrong tool for the job in this case? >I'm trying to analyse a W3C Extended format log file generated by >router software rather than a Web server.

Analog will do what you want, but you will have to do some fairly complex configuration to get it to work the way you want. Essentialy you need to convince Analog that the fields in the log are actually other fields and then translate back when you read the reports. I don't know that you have that many other choices on the Mac, although several programs do exactly what you want on the PC.
