If you're on the same physical system, it will just work; I've done dozens of Leopard installations with no problems (erase install on a boot volume, with users on a separate volume). Archive/install or upgrade should be just as seamless. If you're moving to a new physical system or reformatting the volume on which your linked files are stored, you'll need to preserve the relative location of the .bib file and all the linked files. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
