I checked all permissions with Batchmod and all are owner Read/Write/Execute and no file is locked, but still can't import the files. Also, what happened, I remember is I force quit the Finder Windows manager not PM and I tried running Restore Disk Permissions, but that didn't help. Now I have a dead database :-(, lost rules and accounts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jefferis Peterson, Pres. Web Design and Marketing http://www.PetersonSales.com
