Hi Don!

Yup - at least for a little while longer...

Here's the items and event I whipped up to test this after I saw your post:

|Item:TEST                      Type:On/Off
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|Item:Log States                Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :@states.log

|Event: test                            Called ?:No
|       If      TEST                    Is Now          On
|       Then    Log States              Set             Log States
|       Then    TEST                    Set             Off
|       End


This generated a file with a rather long list of items and states.
What version of ECS are you running?
Are you just getting a blank file?
He you tried deleting it?  ECS should then make the file the nest time you
set test flag to true.
Is it possible that the file is being created in some other directory?
Any reason why ECS wouldn't be able/allowed to create the file on your
computer?

I can't really think of why it isn't working.  It is rather fool-proof.

Cheers!
