Hi Josha, Thanks for your patience and help. I do not have access to a server and the application that is serving the old url's.
I think it is a syntax issue, one old URL routed to one new URL.
Old url
http://www.sitename.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AWLAS&Category_Code=Abc+Xyz
New URL http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=view_user&user=2

Sorry, but debugging mod_rewrite without the RewriteLog is like driving blindfolded.
