> ## Dividing record access log files

> Log files of activity within the database can quickly grow quite large, especially if you choose to keep track of all record viewing. This feature on the Preferences form's Record Access item generates a new text file when the initial log file grows beyond a set size in kilobytes, or based on the number of days of database activity recorded.

> The default setting is Use Size, which allows you to set a log file size limit between 500 and 65,534 kilobytes. When the file reaches your specified limit, AudBase creates a new text file in the same folder. You can also choose Use Days, and specify a number of days between 1 and 1,000. A new log file will be created after the number of days has elapsed.

> The current log file will be named using your version of AudBase and the word Log. Archived versions of the log file will be named with the date following "Log." If more than one file is created per day, AudBase will number the files consecutively with the number appearing before the date.
