Hi Stephane, Thanks for your reply. I had much trouble when I tried it -- I was migrating to another version on another machine owned by someone else, so updating the path info was critical. The move_list utility was suppose to update the config.db but it didn't work correctly. I've moved my non-critical lists by starting with a new list and then dropping in the /archives and /lists files for each but am hesitating on moving my one critical list -- I really don't want to start from scratch with that one.
