That's the #1 error I've helped people with regarding Migration Assistant. It seems natural to create a user 'Joe' on a new system, then migrate all of 'Joe's' info from the old mac. That won't work. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
