if the log file is a text format file, try the edditor Pitpad. It's a real nice text editor and as far as I know it's free to download.<br />

Thanks, got the file open after all. I opened the .tlg trace file and I may have been trying to open the .trc file instead. I &quot;saved&quot; the file, then &quot;formatted&quot; it after the trace, I think I saved it under a different name each time. Should I have kept the same name for both operations?
