I got around this problem by importing my original database into the test site. Happy to try testing any new developments but I will need to do it on the live site.
Thanks again

Hi Sara,

Seems you've found a bug!

When you run the split the FIRST time, and the number of records set in configuration is LESS then the number to split on, it duplicates the file. This is okay, and expected behavior.

However, if you then run SPLIT on the original file AGAIN, the target split file is being APPENDED instead of being OVERWRITTEN. My bad!

The FIRST time you SPLIT will be okay. But you'll need to delete the split files before attempting to split again. How many records do you have in your original data file? Try setting your split value to half this number.

To help with timeout, you can also set your "Script Execution Time" to something larger than 60 ... but I don't think that will help if your testing server is that strangling.

I'll try to get this fixed right away! Very sorry for the inconvenience!
