Search around on your hard drive to see if the file is being written to a location other than what you expect. Once you determine, look for any login.sql or glogin.sql files which might be redirecting the file to that directory. If that turns up nothing then look in the registry to see if there is some entry there that is causing the problem. Received on Thu Nov 02 2000 - 13:43:56 CST
