Hi Mart I did it without the quotes around the -y and -Y and when the quotes are completely removed, the command line arguments do not get passed completely and incorrectly parse. So I tried it with quotes around -Y and it parses the commands. Still doesn't work.
It looks like the DAL creates some field with a value of NoType in SQLite and the conversion script and code get hung up on this. I will review the SQLite strucuture and see where the NoType is and attempt to change it to something workable.
