Re: opening large access-log files

if htis is a standard text file why not go into DOS
and  view it from there.... 

You could try Edit Or perhaps type |more...

Or you could have olpen the log file from the server
if the server was UNIX  vi might work...
Problem is Word needs to have quite a bit5 of Ram.. 
UltraEdit might be better I use it and it does handle
files of large size...

To avoid this in the future you should have a size
limit on the logs or parse them to another file after
so large....

Good Luck....
