Non-notebooked lists still support Digest. That's because the digest file is not related to the notebook logs, it's created separately. So I would guess the sysadmin has got something set wrong. Have you done a REVIEW or a GET listname (header nolock to see how it's set up? It's also possible that the H disk is full...also, the sysadmin may need to manually add the list name to the DIGESTS FILE. (Actually, I'd bet on the latter.) Tell him to check DIGESTS FILE, and if he doesn't find an entry for your list, he should add a line listname 0 0 and that should jump-start your digest. Unfortunately you can't do anything about this until he gets back, unless he's simply forgotten to put the * Digest= keyword in the header. Nathan
