FTR: it's not just Legacy8. I've had that happen in PAF, AQ, FTM, RM/FO, Legacy7, and UFT. No clue why. Now that you've noticed it (g), here's the CMA: Before ANY export, print-to-file an alpha list of everyone in your export list. After importing the export into a separate database, show an alpha list of everyone in the new db, and compare with your previous list.
