I will give this a shot and see if it helps.

That's OK, I am running the current release.  I did run wcRepair on the file 
database to see if there was any change and there was no.  As long as it 
remains a cosmetic problem, I'm much less worried about it.  Can you explain 
the difference between the total file areas field and the active file areas 
field on the general overview page of wcReports?

Thanks!

I have the standard 9 protocols that came with install (ASCII, 
Xmodem/CRC/1K/1KG, Ymodem/G, Kermit, Zmodem).  All 3 of the access profiles 
available on my system have access to all 9 protocols.

No problem.  I appreciate you looking into things!
