    Hello Wayne and Michelz

    Your suggestion to make the comments in one continuous line solved the Site problem.  Unfortunately then I received an error about something else which triggered the old grey matter into remembering with EV 8.0 there was an issue with EVPM because we no longer worry about having to choose either aged or quota based archiving.

    The fix is to replace the EVPM.exe file. 
    Etrack 1477247: Existing EVPM scripts which set custom filters on folders using non system defaults will not work

    I copied the new executable file and WALLA my script is working fine now.

    Thanks everyone for your assistance, I really appreciate being able to discuss my problems with Enterprise Vault experts as I am pretty much out here on my own.

Hello Mike

Been a long time since we have communicated.  Probably since I was at Alberta Energy back in the 1990's.

In any event putting the file in the root of the C:\ drive did help, however now I am getting the following problem.  I am using Symantec VMWare Images and the site name was of course already set up as Demo Site.   In the script file the site name is in the Directory section not the filter section.  Strange....

I wouldn't bother you with this, but I want to demo this ability to create folders with immediate archive settings to a potential customer later ths week and wanted to have this working for me beforehand.
