I have the .core file. The exact msg was: /kernal : pid 134 (msqld), uid 0: exited on signal 6 I have read a few discussions on stepping through a core file, but I never read enough to findout exactly how to do this. thanks. BTW I don't hold alot of hope of figuring this out, I just want to try. thanks. ====================================================================== Jeremy Sigmon B.S.
