Mandy-
We were having a similar problem and after speaking with the folks at PP
about it, we realized that we were trying to make the scatter/gather feature
work exactly the same as the networking which it won't.  You might want to
talk to PP about the lost of information and see if you are trying to
scatter/ gather data that can not be transferred this way.  Also, we had a
little bit of problem with accident overwriting during the scatter/gather
sessions that was our error but didn't even realize we were doing it.  

If you want to talk more, email me off the list.

For those of you who use PP and use the scatter/gather function do you have
problems with data being lost during the transfer? Now I'm not talking about
a one time glitch here, I mean consistently?

We seem to loose or screw up data with every scatter/gather. I really like
PP as a program and find it very easy to use but I am not the one doing the
scatter/gather so I'm wondering if this is a major flaw in the program or
some serious and repeat human error on the part of the person doing this for
us. 

I would obviously like to determine which of these is the case because I am
afraid that either way our database is going to be permanently screwed up by
this and I need to know which way to come at this.

Thanks for the help.
