Thank's for your reply to my email. as you can see whatever you did to forum allowed me to register.
I have 4 different sections on old site, only two of which i actually want content from. I tried both without static content. and both failed.
then i tried another section with only two articles. it failed also.

uninstalled the export_component from the site i want to install into and again. all fail.

reinstalled the component on the import site and fail.

My export site is on cjb.cc with joomla 1.0.11
