Hi PugDog,

as a novice type of user I have a suggestion.

Put in bold red 'for advanced users only' the first line "Do you want to clean out the database first"

I "cleaned out the database first" literally thinking it would clean my database.. (of old/test links)

It doesn't actually mean that, it really should say do you want to reset your database and link modifications/columns to the fresh installation point and wipe all mod columns.

The help file says "

This is pretty obvious. Set to 'yes' if you want to wipe your database
before starting the import. This process is *NOT* reversible!"

I still interpreted that as wiping/cleaning up old links from the databse

Andy saved my bacon with this cause I would have rather pulled my teeth out with a spoon than redo all my columns.

I can laugh now but that is a powerful little button.
