If the two database formats are compatible, why wouldn't it be feasible to download the V5 database and then merge it with your existing database, containing any customizations you've made. As for the exception calls, I've already told Tony off-line how to handle that, as, no doubt, have many others. It's hard to see how it could be any easier. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the World HF Contest Station Database at www.pvrc.org
