Hi Steve, I'm not sure what the exact problem is here. It would help for us to know what exactly is different so that new transformers work fine, but not old ones. Can you...
1) Right-click and copy the custom transformer and paste it to a text editor (notepad/ultraedit/etc) 2) Create a new (blank) custom transformer and copy/paste the contents of the old into the new. 3) Right-click and copy the new custom transformer and paste it to a text editor. The text editor contents will hopefully show a difference between the old and new - if so then I can log it with our developers to make us more tolerant of the older-style transformers. Of course you could always just send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have us look at it directly. The only suggestion I have for a quick fix is to try and avoid spaces in custom transformer names - the "invalid number of entries" message suggests to me that space characters might be causing a problem.
