I think on your 98se platform you run as an application?
Anyway the file datestamp does not get updated until the last connection to
the db is closed. This does not mean the writes are not being carried out.
If you look at the file properties instead of the browser list you may see
the true properties. Windows does not update the browser list all the time
anyway.
