Thank you very much. This looks very useful.

>>I am taking notes of all suggestions. And will check out this PSR.EXE. However, I can't make my application automatically email; many clients "warn" that they do not like this. Probably mainly concerned about losing confidential information. I periodically connect and check myself.

>Alternately, you can arrange for error logs (one per error, or one per user session) to be made in a predetermined folder to which you have FTP access (and can check for it periodically and automatically) or to have these files FTP'd to your predetermined URL. Disclose this to admins and tell them to deny access to this location to yourself only (in the first case), or limit the FTP to your URL only (2nd). Let them log it any way they like it.

I think this is doable. But really, no time for this. I have so many things on to-do list (maintaining existing vfp and .net apps, adding new features, rewriting the .net for sql server, and on and on) that I have to be very selective. At this point, checking the errorlog.dbf (once in a while is enough). Thank you.
