Excellent! that works! Since it stays in replication mode until the move request has been cleared - I expect that means that the space on the original database never gets cleared either until the clear of the move request occurs???
I so hope that brings back a lot more space! Thanks Jim!

Now - on the original database the MOVE LOCAL option is there for any account in that database - but for the accounts showing as attached to the added databases that MOVE LOCAL function is not available. What I was hoping to do was to be able to move the account back or to another database - but that feature seems gone when you add a database. Ideas anyone??? Thanks Cal
