five

Hello Marrie,

You are confusing me.

I do not want to know about folders that worked prior to starting this test,
I only want to know about what is happening with this import.

the odd thing is the compact went fine until my last inport then things
started going haywire. Each time I get the message now it's for a different
folder. I first deleated the problimatic folder but the message keeps
appearing and this is with the new identity.

When you deleted the problem folder did you also delete it from the Delete
folder? if not delete it there.
