Jerry,
I have an automated backup job that runs daily between 4 and 5am EDT. While the forums will work (they are not down) they can be extremely slow to respond ....at times you will have timeout 404 pages making it look like they are down.
Thanks Doc that was what I was getting. soooo I try to rember that next time. I just woke up and got on to see what was there tt was up just fine. Later Jerry
