Hi Don!

Are you using the latest beta?  I have found a few weird things where event
lines didn't quite work as expected.  One of the anomalies was when I had
punctuation in the item name.  So, you might take the "." out of the state
name and see if that helps.

Is ECS generating an error on this line?: Do    Status.Log     Set     Log
States

You're sure Status.log is a text item right?  You have the "@" before the
file name right?  I know you said Status.log and Status Report were the
same; just thought I'd check.

Try this:  Go to the group page, and call up Status.log on a blank line.
Now, tab though the states until you get to "log states" and hit <return>.
Did that work?  Or, did you get the same error?

Hey, you don't have some other item named  "Log States" do you?

I'm going to bed now....  Good Luck!  :)

Cheers!

Sorry, both refer to the same file, one to delete it and another to create
the log
It should read...

Do    Status.Log     Set     Log States

When I attempt to walk through this ECS sets an error message "value 256 is
not a legal selection"
I'm defining the Status.Log as a text item. The name of the text item is
@status.log. I'm not sure
what I'm missing. Ingo, thanks for the response. I'm walking through this
line by line so the test flag
isn't really an issue.

Don
