I observe that a Configuration Log was produced when I got an error.

Looking at the Session component I see that defaults seem to be checked
for outputting a log entry when in error, warnings etc.

1. If I set these conditions false will the log not appear?
eg. when warnings = false.

2. Is it possible to read the log? Using the database manager?

No idea - never tried changing them

Yup - open the session and there's a menu option for it.

And to answer an unasked question - to delete the log make sure your app is closed and zap using Explorer.

Roy,

If the database is C/S, you can probably just have your app check to see if there are any other sessions accessing the database, and if not, close the database connection and then delete the log file from within the application.

This is recommended if you ever need to do this on a client machine and you want to avoid the user from doing it. I personally would rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick than to let the user anywhere near the database directory with MS Explorer.

Excellent point (pun intended)
