That error, Server Error, means that the web server returned a 400 series 
error, but not one of the obvious ones like 401, 403, or 404, when 
Summary went to download the file. I have never seen that happen before. 
It is possible that the error was caused by something transient, like the 
server being overloaded, and will not repeat. You should check to see if 
it does that ever time or only once in a while. It is also possible that 
there was actually a problem with your name/password and the server 
returned a non-standard error code, so you should double check those (if 
they are required).

Yes, unless you can also access the logs through FTP. FTP downloads allow 
starnames.

Good Luck

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
