Well I wish I could keep you under my pillow, but I think you have other things to do.  :) 

So, I do have another question... an XML guru I am not, but I've made a list of several users and when I run import users nothing happens except the text box clears out.  Even when I run the example in the textbox that I'm to replace the loop jumps right to the bottom not recognizing any nodes, why is this?

Thanks for all your help.  Sherry

Hi Sherry,

I am not sure you solved your issue or not. But dnnvillage released a import export module which is help you to import users in xml format so all you need is convert your table structure to valid xml file then use the module to import them to the portal. There is some instructions as well as two sample xml files. If you got issue just let me know I will try to help you.This is the address of the module( it is free). Hope it works for you.
