Hi Yolanda,

Please do not create new threads for the same topic. It's difficult for forum members to backtrack to the original query. Cilck "reply" instead of "new message". I have posted your contents here, to maintain continuity.

Good luck

Thanks,
Kusuma

I used pre-test of L&TT and the systems performance results was:

" Couldn't stat file C:\\urlcache\dir4\* - The system cannot find the path specified."

What can I do??
