Install activeperl (http://www.activestate.com) and make sure that perl is available in PATH 2. create c:\import directory and save flat2sql.pl there 3. copy SquirrelMail data directory to c:\import\data 3. start -> run -> cmd 4. cd c:\import 5. perl flat2sql.pl --data_dir="c:\import\data" > import.sql if you don't want to go into command prompt, 3. create text file named import.bat. Please note that file must be named import.bat and not import.bat.txt. 4. Open import.bat in text editor and write text perl flat2sql.pl --data_dir="c:\import\data" >import.sql 2>error.log in that file. Then save it. 5. Double click on import.bat in order to execute it. Command should generate import.sql file. If error.log is not empty, it should contain command execution errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
