Hi Ric, When I use the exact same settings as you did, it works. I think it has to do with the save location - I normally don't save on server but elsewhere and then I get the error. I also got the error when I try to import a gz on a live server. So I tested this with importing from the 2 different locations and it works when the file was saved in on server in C:/UniServer/etc/phpmyadmin/ directory, but not when saved outside the US folder structure. When saving outside, I get an error which looks like this: http://www.patriciaritsemavaneck.name/imag...mport-error.jpg Hope this helps making more sense of this error... Patricia
