i have a situation where i copy the verb to the project but then sometimes it disappears again. Any ideas on what makes it disappear? i remember seeing a 'cleanup' button on earlier versions of DS, does this automatic cleanup these days have anything to do with the verb going on holiday?

thanks

Only an upgrade or an updating of the account would make anything disappear from VOC, other than an explicit DELETE command.

The project cleanup button (which has been removed from the Administrator client and from the DS.TOOLS menu) ought not to affect "Q" and "R" type entries in the VOC file.

I suspect you might be in a different project than the one in which you installed UNLOCK. If you run DS.TOOLS and perform an UNLOCK operation, even an unsuccessful one, you will find that UNLOCK has been installed in VOC.

Clearing one job's status file, or even a few, will not block login. There is something else awry with your project. What message do you get when failing to log in?
