No, I'm only trying to import a few recordings made with a mobile system 
into the main DB.  I guess I'd really like to be able to sync DBs 
without having to move TBs of data around, but import from laptop would 
be a start.  I probably got the table wrong; just knew that one had a 
problem.

Thanks.
