Re: [Summary-Talk] Reset Summary for given sub-report?

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jason.  I kind of thought that was the case, but I guess I don't 
fully understand all the options and workings of Summary.

Tell you what I'm really after -- how to get browser data [AGENT] in 
Summary from a group of WebSTAR V servers' logs.

I had things all set up and working with ftp'd logs from 5 different 
servers and then screwed things up when I tried to make some changes to 
the logs on WebSTAR.

I gather that I have to switch to WebSTAR log format [WLF] to get AGENT 
information but I'm not sure in what order to add the field.

This is probably more of a WebSTAR question, but maybe someone here has 
run into the same thing?
