We routinely import patron records (derived from our membership database) and overwrite the old ones in order to update expiration dates, addresses, etc. I recently ran this process through our test site (running 3.22.06) and it failed. The error message I got back was the records were not imported because the userid was already in use or missing. I had chosen 'overwrite matching records' Oddly, the import process worked fine in the production site running 3.22.07 Is there a system preference I should check in the test site? Maybe this is related to Bug 15840 - Import borrowers tool explodes if userid already exists We match on cardnumber, Is this the same as the userid? We don't have a column in our csv file called userid. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
