OK... will print this out and follow as protocol for updates.<br>
<br>
However, I'm not sure what you mean by 'used a new directory (not <br>
DATA/)'. Leah's earlier emails sounded like she preferred that the
<br>
official babase only be transferred through the DATA/ directory...so I
<br>
don't want to create more DATA_vX - type folders. Can you give
me (us) <br>
specifics on a protocol for this? Maybe you just mean that we should
<br>
delete the old and create a new DATA/ directory each exchange (as you <br>
suggest toward the end of your first paragraph?)<br>
