Hi!

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes, I'm not replicating the entire db, just Sty=
les=20
and Snippets, and I've deleted a lot of User accounts from the staging serv=
er=20
after the last complete synchronisation. Needless to say, these are still=20
needed on the live server, so being able to restrict deletes to certain=20
classes would be most helpful!=20


Bye,
