FWIW: We use a table with memo fields for our error log, and one record for each logged event, with fields for date, time, etc. Makes it easy for searching for stuff in VFP, but a pain in the butt for anyone who doesn't have FP/VFP available to them. If you really need the log to be a text file, we have recently been using STRTOFILE()(as suggested by another) with its additive flag, and its fast and easy. I haven't checked, but I suspect it has the 'usual' 2 GB limit, so the earlier suggestion on checking file size is probably a good idea...
