Hi Don!

Ok, it's a head-scratcher.

>It won't let me type it in the group page without generating the error
>message "Value 256 is not a legal selection ("Test Event line 2")

That error is pointing to line two of your event, which, according to an
earlier email is:
	> |       Then    Event-Exit              Set             True

Right?  That's really weird!  If event-exit wasn't working right, then your
whole .cfg would be screwed.  Perhaps you've changed your event, and
"Status.log" is now on line two?  We'll ignore that for the moment.

Where you saying that just simply calling up "Status.Log" on the group page
generates that error?  Even before you try to change its state? That makes
no sense.  Unless....

Hey - what is your current text item count, and your max text item count.
Was Status.Log the last text item you created, and did it max out your text
item count?  I seem to remember that I had a problem once where I created a
text item that maxed out my count, and it generated some weird error.  So, I
deleted the item, raised my text item count, restarted, created the item
again, and all was well.   I never reported it because I forgot to go back
and make sure it was a repeatable error.

Cheers!

No...I'm using 3.4.024 Took the "." out of the name but didn't help

Yes it is

I've tried it as a file item, as a text item without a "@", and with the
leading @.

It won't let me type it in the group page without generating the error
message "Value 256 is not a legal selection ("Test Event line 2")

ECS wouldn't let that happen, and I renamed it anyway.

Me too, and here it's three hours earlier! Thanks for the help.
