[BlueOnyx:05310] Re: Vacation Replies

[Abdul Rashid Abdullah]

I know some time has passed but unfortunately due to a lot of traveling I
didn't want to raise this issue again unless I knew I could respond quickly.

At this point, it appears that my efforts to fix the issue has only resulted
in the fact that no reply is given what so ever.  I am aware that only one
reply will be given per week.  I do not see the .db file being created:

I am looking for some desperate assistance on this one.

Thanks in advance.
