Hi Leslie,
I have to report the state of a couple of MIB variables (eg. host_up_time),
not only the "color" of a component in the system. Therefor it's not enough
to store the events, I need to store all the relevant dates at every
polling-intervals to. I hope these are stored in the snmpcollect.mdb (under
NT)... But I can't open this file with ms-access (see other mail).
I think my previous question was misunderstandible.

                                        Thanks for your help, Zoltan
