Hello All,

We're attempting to use base2 to manage antibody ELISA microarray data.  We 
print antibodies on slides divided into 16 wells, with one array block printed 
per well, and with all wells printed with the same antibodies in the same 
pattern.   

My Problem: I've been trying use the printmap importer plugin to import a TAM 
file into an Assay Design.  The plugin runs without an error, but only the 
blocks from the TAM file are inserted, whereas the features are not, as per 
this message: " Done: 0 feature(s) inserted; 16 block(s) inserted"   (the full 
job report is shown below).

Does anyone have ideas on how to solve this problem?  My guess is that my the 
plate file that is associated with the Assay Design (via "Manage Plates") is 
not being read corrrectly, if at all.  

I've checked my TAM file, and it appears to be correctly formatted (excerpt 
below).  

I have suspected that the plate name values in the TAM file records are not 
identifying the correct plate within base.  I have it set to match the 
"Position" value that corresponds to the correct plate on the Array Designs 
page.

I'm running base-2.2.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.  

Any enlightenment on my situation would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Jim Collett
