OK; we're down to nits now but it may be useful for you guys to see that the vBulletin Feature List actually includes the "Import Facility" as part of the salient integral features of vBulletin.

That may be the case however this community (vB.org) is mainly about users of the software helping other users. Even the staff here is not paid for their time.

You're asking a question about code most of us rarely use...meaning there aren't many 'experts on impex' around here. Granted I could probably download the latest copy of impex and answer you question, but as I'm on dial-up I'd have to go out of my way to do this, wait for maybe an hour for my download, and that's all before I even look at the code.

Obvoiusly in this situation I perfer to point you towards someone that knows the thing like the back of their hand (Jerry) instead of searching around and giving you answers based on things I can't test myself first. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, but I can't pull the correct answers out of thin air.
