Alan I ran into a change in how things were handled that may be causing your problem. The change is both a problem and a blessing. what you have to do is make sure no Records have been deleted in the layout in either the new or old DATABASE. When apple works copies it only takes or puts records into undeleted records. This is somthing like this. If the original data base had records 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and record 5 was made invisible with a delete in OA-L then it would copy into the new data base old record 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10 new record 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,10 what you get is a blank record 10 with records 5 to 9 containing the wrong information. The reverse happens with the loss of record 10 when the record is deleted in the new database. It works nice for copying fewer record than a data base actually contains 'in' and get the entries in the correct place. Grant Delaney .
