Merlin, Your ICQ database is online with ICQ, unless you specifically saved it locally. This was a great service because now you could log into any computer that could run a client and access your buddies as if you were on your own PC. However, I see no way in LICQ to import buddies from one identity to another. What I would do is register your old user in LICQ, so that you have the old and new one accessible. Login as the old one and write down the ID's of everyone you want to carry over. Do search on the ID numbers and let the add user wizard fill in everything else for each buddy. If you have a lot of them to bring over....sorry. Maybe, someone here has gone through this and has a better answer. :0) Good luck. Paul
