Hi Koen

There are so many calls to the prg that writes to the log file that trying to watch hundreds of lines will take a great deal of time.

I have watched some and they all have a full line in LcContent.

the log file is written to like this

Parameters  lcMessageText
LOCAL lcmytime

mypath = Sys(5) + Curdir()

lcmytime = Ttoc(Datetime(),2)

lcMyfullmessage = (lcmytime+'  ' +lcMessageText)

If Strtofile(lcMyfullmessage,(myTWLog),.T.) <> Len(lcMyfullmessage)

	Messagebox("String not written or only partially written to file.")

Else

	Strtofile(Chr(013)+Chr(10),(myTWLog),.T.  )
	
ENDIF


With myform_one && mainform

	If Int(Val(readpwini(inifile,'read','Mode','OnScreen'))) = 1

		 myform_one.conLog.Visible = .T. && always on top
		 myform_one.conLog.setfocus 


	lcContent = Filetostr(myTWLog)&&('mylog.txt')

and then the lines shown previously.

Does this help?
