Dane,<br><br>Sorry I looked into your request more I thought these were sites where you had to have the old DID numbers point to the new DID numbers.<br><br>Since it is phone extension you are worried about the only realy way to do it would be to do a seperate partition with translation patterns to the new numbers. Unfortionatly its probably going to be a one for one translation OR the other option is simply put the old number on each persons phone.

Humm.. I must not be following you because I don't see how that would<br>work unless you were talking about translating one consecutive group<br>of numbers to another. Like if I knew my existing range of numbers<br>fell between say 3000-3999 and the new one was 6000-6999 I think I
<br>could see how one might translate something like that. But not sure<br>if that is what you are referring to, and if it is I don't think it<br>works in my situation as I have numbers all over the place talking a<br>
few hundred numbers in barely any consecutive order at all.<br><br>The good thing about the move to new extensions is it will clean up<br>this mess in callmanager and have two nice range of numbers rather<br>then numbers all over the place. The bad thing is the amount of work
<br>to do it if I can't find some possible alternative ways of doing it.<br><br>Appreciate the response and look forward to better understanding your<br>point if I missed it.<br><br><br><br>On 3/15/07, Craig Staffin <
