This sounds a bit like I have a mission impossible. Looks like Evolution 3.0 does the conversion. I don't have 3.0.
If I follow what you said below, Does this mean that I have to convert 2.24.5 data to 2.32 data and then to 3.4 or is it just one conversion? Is there a utility that someone has that might do this job? Again thanks in advance for any help. Brian.
