    There is not a problem with the programming etc etc, it is the host that is not allowing enough memory to upload back to the server that is causing the hitch.

    If they cannot allow extra 'temporary memory' for the upgrade, I will have to find anothr host :rolleyes: .

    Sorry to hear of the trouble Nathan, its all a bit beyond me, but hope you can sort it out next time.
    If it at takes a bit longer down time then we can take it.
    I'm sure it will be worth it in the end, but very annoying for you I bet.

    Terminal 5 and all that!

    In work, one of our plant has to be shut down every 12 to 18 months for pressure testing (gov. inspection.) Firm wants 18 months Inspectors want 12 months.

    It almost always takes between 48 and 60 hours for "us" to get it up and running after the
    restart, the sooner the better for "us".

    At the pre startup technical meeting "the tech bods" ALWAYS say the plant manager etc, and "us," we will be up and running in 24 hours.

    We tell them to keep out of the way, not as politely as that, and the plant manager sees that they do, every time.

    We are always correct in our timings, the tech bods are all brains and no commen sense.
    So next time you upgrade, prepare for a longer shutdown.
    The motto of the wise is--

    Be prepared for surprises!
