This field is too small to accept the amount of data you >attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data." This is not a person's ID number, this is an error message number. This probably indicates that you're trying to put data into the wrong fields. Without seeing the file, I can't tell exactly where the problem lies. Have you tried the suggestion on the Clooz Knowledge Base page, using Legacy? Go to http://www.clooz.com/kbsa.htm#Import for instructions. If you don't want to keep Legacy after using it for this process, just uninstall it. Legacy makes the Clooz import a breeze. If you'd rather keep trying to install the way you are, you can e-mail me a copy of your cloozimp.txt file and I'll take a look at it. >I looked at the person with ID 3163 and didn't see any problems with the >fields for him.

Again, this is an error message, not a person's ID. This error is addressed on the Clooz Knowledge Base at http://www.clooz.com/kbsa.htm#62.
