*i have never played with groups BUT* How hard/disasterous would it be to just go and delete the group and remake it. There has to be some script or something out there to collect the names of the users in the group then delete the group and put it back together. As i said i havent played with groups but just a thought.
Someone once said "The hardest problems are solved by the most obvious solutions, you just need someone else to tell you what it is."
Heh this is so true.....sometimes you get so frustrated you don't see the obvious.
