[support] node_import?

[Marc Morris]

I seem to have "almost" got the node_import" module working, simply  
by reducing the number of data entries to import from 5,500 to 500 at  
a time.

However, the CCK fields I created are not being listed in the field  
import options - only the standard CCK fields etc.

Is there somewhere I need to effectively  "switch" these on?

node_import:

Regards,

Marc
