Wow what a great effort. Many, many thanks.
I was sure that I did not back up users when I did that backup, so I just tried it again and double , tripple cheked that users and roles are definatley unchecked, yet the backup file is still full of that data.
Anyway, I will get to work on the suugestions you have made andd see how I go.
Thanks Again
Stephen
