When you open the file do you use FILE-OPEN or do you use IMPORT?
Also to auto load a file use the SETUP-GENERAL-STARTUP screen to define
the file to load.
As for the email, is that within the body of the mail? If so check the

Well, what if you saved and reloaded the same information you're writing to the table

Michael,
The stats log is an exception type log - just tracks when a server goes
down. Therefore, if it isn't in the stats log, the server is up during that
time.

I agree with the concept of slowing down the cycles during off peak hours, but.
We don't have any. We're 24x7x365.24.
And if why wouldn't I want to build reports around the up/down numbers (aside from the

how about setting up a print that prints to a file. When you send a job to it it
