The preferred method is to move the lists/listname/* files over, rather than moving the list configuration and membership as you did. I think you can still move the new lists/listname/config.pck and config.pck.last files aside (don't delete them yet in case something goes wrong), and move in the old lists/listname/config.db files. If this works OK, you will have the list config and membership and member options from the old lists. If not, you can move the config.pck files back. There is really no other convenient way to move member options. Note: You cannot leave the new config.pck files in the lists/listname/ directory or the old config.db files you move in will be ignored. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
