Fritz,

Thanks for the suggestion, however it's more than just the
log file as I found out that needs read / write access
given for the user. Also, I would perfer not to have the
administrator user / pass sitting in a batch file for all
to see / obtain. Is there any way to change the
permissioning on this program or it's directory to allow
the limited account to have read/write/execute rights to
the directory? I think that would work.
