Hi David, 7.00 had an issue exporting and importing html inside xml. Specifically it would not encode the html on export, as a result the html would throw off the xml parser on import. You can get a free upgrade patch (7.03 then 7.04) from
http://www.ipswitch.com/support/whatsup/patch-upgrades.html This will allow you to import encoded html like this: <InfoLine1><b>this is info line 1, & it is encoded</b></InfoLine1> That is, you need to encode html < and > as < and > and & as & in your updated files so the html is not mistaken as xml. Once imported < will revert back to < etc. hth Adrian ----- Original Message ----- From: "David R.
