Hi Leah,

I'm uploading the official babase to papio.  It will be in 
Database/DATA.  This is the file you want to work with.

I still can't delete the DATA_old folder because of the DATA directory 
within it.  DATA_old is garbage so just ignore it.  In fact, just delete 
it once you change the permissions.

On the off-chance that I have done something bizarre to the official 
babase (i.e. DATA) like uploaded corrupt files,  I am also leaving you 
DATA_backup.  This contains the DATA files that Karl used for the most 
recent conversion (errors_v7 are the result of this conversion).  We 
know these files are all good, and since I won't be in this weekend to 
trouble-shoot any problems, it seems sensible to just leave it as a 
backup.  I made about 6 changes to the 2005 ranks today after the 
conversion was run, so let me know if you have to resort to using this 
slightly older version.  I can just re-do those changes easily...they 
have nothing to do with the v7 error messages.

Just as an FYI, there are some ALM ranks errors in errors v7 that you 
may want to look at.  I don't know who is handling male ranks errors 
now, but you should be aware that they exist.

I have changed permissions on babase_changelog and DATA so they are all 
yours.  You changed the permissions on DATA_backup before I renamed it 
so you can delete it if you don't need it. 

Hope this all makes sense.  Let Karl know when you make the updates and 
he says he will run another conversion to check for errors. 

I can't say have a 'good' weekend since you will be working....so how 
about have a productive weekend?

Tabby
