Rob, I do check for the savf's in the manner that you speak but my report (generated about 4 years ago) only includes files over a certain size. Who knows what I was thinking back then. I think I was running into situations with developers saving production libraries for their own test purposes and on occasion that does chew up some space. I'm going to have to do better because those PTF savf do take up some space. Granted it's not a lot but hey 10's of or 100's of megs is just that. I'm glad you mentioned because it reminded me to look at my report.... It probably isn't that significant but just because my office is a mess I really don't like having that kind of storage usage or loose ends floating around. Thanks for everyone's input - it's great to be able to bounce an idea.... Michael Crump Saint-Gobain Containers 1509 S.

I had forgotten about the save files in the product libraries (well, maybe I referred to them indirectly with 'ability to remove a ptf').
