Yes, I've found that my past problems with COPYCAT were either corrected or due to user error. COPYCAT wasn't cooperating with our SMS managed 3590 somewhere in the forgotten past and I hadn't tried it again. I used a output unit that was recognized by the ACS to set data class and it works. Now that my foot is out of my mouth, at least that is an option. Most of this data will probably never be needed, a lot if "academic". Thanks
