Nick,

That worked perfectly. Thank you!

One more question. I'm now having some difficulty importing my
'author' property because it says it needs to be a user. I get
BadValueError: Property author must be a User. However, if I just set
it to user, I get NameError: global name 'user' is not defined

Is there a conversion function for the UserProperty as well?

Also, is there somewhere I can find these conversion functions?

Thanks,

Mike
