Re: SQL*Plus

Thanks for the response!

I searched to see if I had another 'afiedt.buf' file on my harddrive, but didn't find one. Also, I couldn't see anything in the glogin.sql file or the Registry. It appears as though the 'buffer' is not reading the actual afiedt.buf file. I can open the file from within Notepad and it shows my revised query, but when I use the EDIT command in SQL*Plus, it brings up the previous query.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
