Hello Rob,

   And thank you for your response. What I doing is transfering all my data 
from a 500 Mhz box to a 1 Gig box. No you can't just switch drives. What I did
was network everything over (including the Euphoria folder). Also I thought this
would be a good time to upgrade from 2.5 to 3.0.  Being a little bit experienced
I renamed my old Euphoria folder then intalled the new eu folder. Next I copied
(with Windows) the new 3.0 folder into the old 2.5 folder. When asked I if
I wanted to replace (files such as bin.doc) I clicked [Yes to all] then I
renamed the old folder back Euphoria. Now I have all my old stuff with the
updates replacing the pertinent files. Everything seems to be working fine (up to
now, knock on wood).
