At this point the -U option is generally a safer bet. The only time this won't work for you is when upgrading from an older -RELEASE where you've never run mergemaster previously, in which case it will bark loudly that there is no mtree database. You could then run 'mergemaster -Fi' as you suggested, and run 'mergemaster -U' immediately thereafter and you should get as much "automation" as is possible. hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
