Stu, The problem is you obviously haven't *embraced* the new technology !
Flat files - Sooo yesterday. Now what you should have done is spent a few weeks designing and building an XML schema (preferably using an overpriced and complex 'now' tool like Visio or .Net), then exported the data from Mentor into that schema, and finally spent more weeks remapping the schema onto UniVerse... That would have been the modern approach. There you go. See how far forward technology has taken us. Brian "cynical - who me?"

Twenty years ago I was introduced to Prime and Armstrong Basic and Information. This was a migration and we did it with flat files in two 80+ hour work weeks. I recently did 2 migrations from Mentor to UniVerse where media compatibility was a problem so the answer was ftp flat files. After 29 years in this industry, the problems and answers always seem to be about the same, sometimes with a new technology twist. ________________________________________________________________________ This email was checked on leaving Microgen for viruses, similar malicious code and inappropriate content by MessageLabs SkyScan.
