thanks for the info. I went and actually read the help text on the import/export screen where it states:<br>
<br>
==========<br>
<p class="form-help">
You may import Zope objects which have been previously
exported to a file, by placing the file in the "import"
directory of your Zope installation on the server. You should create
the "import" directory in the root of your Zope installation
if it does not yet exist.
</p>
<p class="form-help">
Note that by default, you will become the owner of the objects
that you are importing. If you wish the imported objects to retain
their existing ownership information, select "retain existing
ownership information".
</p>

<br>
does this mean I create a directory named 'import' at the instance home? (what is the 'root' of my zope installation?)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">SER.RI-TIC-Alexis Roda</b>
