I copied the registry key because, even thought the article noted that it wouldn't work for external databases, it was the only thing I found in the KB that moved me any closer to my goal. It was also the only way I could think of to get a list of the domains' users from the old machine to the new short of re-entering each user again on the new machine, which this whole query is an attempt to avoid. >Are you saying that you have a fully populated table with all correct >columns, queryable from the IMail machine using the same connection >string you supplied to IMail, but that IMail is not seeing the users >in the table? I never said I had a table, I said I had the registry export from the original machine and the new machine isn't seeing the users. My problem here is pretty simple; Original machine: NT4, IMail 5.07, IMail database New machine: Win2000-AS, IMail 7.07, External database Is it, or is it not possible to transfer the domain/users from the old machine to the new one without having to re-enter each user individually? -- Kirk Mitchell-General Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keystone Connect Unlock Your World Altoona, PA 814-941-5000 http://www.keyconn.net To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
