Hello Richard, Thanks for the tip. I think I will switch from the app to LiveCode server and then do all data transfers through a web site using CGIs. Using FTP for now, I can download all of the data, because the files are small, append new data and then upload. The only catch is the odd occasion when a student quits the app before the upload is complete or is otherwise interrupted. That is what I think has resulted in an empty data file appearing on the server.
