I made a local copy of the file The first thing I would check is the contents of the datablock FILE_O_SAVE . write FILE_O_SAVE junk.o $ cat junk.o This block contains the name to which O will save its binary file. It can contain a path/filename pointing to a completely different directory. It may point to a different file than the one you started O with, What often happens is people will rename a database, or copy to a different directory, without changing the contents of FILE_O_SAVE in that database. Then O continues to write to the old database (only of the path is in FILE_O_SAVE, in the case of changing directory) A better way to rename a database is to load it in O, DB_DELETE FILE_O_SAVE SAVE since FILE_O_SAVE doesn't exist, O will prompt you for a filename, put that filename in the datablock, and save to that filename. Hope that clears it up! Ed _______________________________________________ o-info mailing list o-info@o-info.imsb.au.dk http://o-info.imsb.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/o-info
