Netscape 6/7 can not use the same profile as Communicator. They use different mail summary formats; the bookmark file names are different; and the address books are a different format. This is why it wanted to import your Communicator profile rather than use it. To specify a location for a new profile, use the profile manager to create a new profile. To migrate your info manually from Communicator to Netscape 6/7, go here: http://www.hmetzger.de/etips6.html#5 PS. Try Netscape 7.0 PR1, which is far better than 6.2. The final Netscape 7.0 should be out this month. -- Chris I ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
