[quote="CharisMac"]Well, "nightmare," wasn't exaclty what I wanted to hear.  We've added a couple contributions as well as minor customization throughout the store.  It's sounding more and more like I need to bring a new store up from scratch.  :([/quote]
I does not sound like you will have it too bad.

Installing a new MS2 store will take less than 15 minutes.

It will probably take a couple of hours to put in the contributions (assuming there are MS2 ports for them available).

I cannot comment on whether you can carryover the custom development since I do not have any information on it.

Overall, it may take you a few hours but you should be good to go then.  That is not that bad.  :)

[quote="CharisMac"]Where is the opton to export the customers data so it can be imported?  I haven't seen that that I can recall.[/quote]
That is not available from osC but you can do it from within PHPMyAdmin.  Select your database, select Export, select the address_book, customers, manufacturers, orders, and products tables, select data only, do not drop table but do complete inserts (not extended), and download the information into a file.

Then import the information into you new MS2 database and you should then only have to go through the configuration of your new store.  All of your customers with their previous orders should be available in your new store.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding the above or run into any troubles.
