Hmm... doesn't sound too promising. We are moving web hosting companies,
and our new web host has an older version (olm.net). If there really is
no other way then we may decide to go with someone else, but I'd like to
avoid that if I can.
Do you know how I'd find out how to alter the dump file to work for
7.1.2?
Thanks, Tom
