This begs the question of the correct path. I'm tempted to do a fresh install of 7.0 and then restore, but mergemaster does a better job of making sure the config files are both updated, and that nothing is lost. Would the correct path be 5.5 -> 6.3 -> 7.0? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
