Please reread Pete's reply. There is no 9.1 version. There is however a 9.2.0.1, which I believe was R1. If there are sufficient differences between R1 and R2 such that an export from r2 generates errors while importing into r1, it is very likely you can't do that. You will need to bulid a 9.2.0.5 database, load the export file, then use the 9.2.0.1 exp utility to export into a compatible format.

It went from 9.0.1.something to 9.2.0.something. Where did you manage to get the 9.1 code? ;) Pete
