Thanks for everybody's help! It was a combination of suggestions that helped me solve the dilemma. Because I am trying to use the files from SAP as SAP creates them through the IDOC processing, the file names are limited. I could ask a script to be created to rename, but my goal is to do this without scripts. So, I added the *.* entry to my System Import configuration. Then, I used the Application/Import content type on my collection mailbox to correspond to the Mailbox configuration that would use GDW_MBImport.
This will be a great enhancement to my system. The passing from mailbox to mailbox is eating up alot of space on my server for no good reason. Thanks again to everyone who responded.

So, you are using a GDW_Import on the filename that is extracted from the mailbox, correct? If so, then you should take a look at using the Application/Import content type. That will allow you to run an import on data that is received from the mailbox. I don't have the document in front of me, but I'm pretty sure someone in Gentran support has something that gives you a step-by-step setup of configuring the mailbox to allow data to import. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello group, > > I've been running Gentran on the server since 2.0. > Back in the day, in > order to get the file name I wanted, I had to create > collection mailbox > and then an export mailbox to work the file name > magic.
