In rather cumbersome way. :-( Select a filter, press Ctrl-C (not the copy button, that has a different function), switch to a text editor (Notepad or SmartBat), paste with Ctrl-V, go back to the sorting office and continue with the next filter, etc GS The copy paste was incredibly easy.

I thought I remembered doing that, but I must have been thinking of something else. You're right, you can't select more than 1 at a time. Now that I think about it, I remember it being a pain. Once you've pasted them all into a file, if you copy the whole thing, you can _paste_ them all in one shot.

Outgoing Filter: Move File Save not Working?
Hello , I can't get an outgoing mail filter to work and I don't know why. I'll describe what I'm doing because maybe there is a better way, then get to specifics. I have a contact DB which I dump names, email addresses, other variables for the day into a CSV file. I import this info into a separate address book for just this purpose. A Mass mail on all imported addresses is performed to the Outbox on an account where delivery is deferred. The outgoing filter is to perform 2 functions, move email to specific folder on send, and append email into a text file. I've created a hyperlink field in the DB, so that I can quickly reference the email in subsequent discussions. This way the contact DB is self containing of all types of communications made with any company and individual. General questions: 1) Can you filter on strings in the body with location = text? 2) Can you have a move and file save on 1 filter? Detail outgoing mail filter rule tab: Name: whatever Source folder: Outbox Move message to folder: whatever Filter strings: strings=whatever ; Location=text ; Presence=yes Rule is: Active Detail outgoing mail filter actions tab: Export message to a file: selected (with path:\dest\whatever.txt) Export format: text Append to existing file: selected Export Kludges: selected The results are no TXT file is saved and the messages end up in the Sent Mail folder. In summary it isn't working. For the string value I've tried to key in on only a partial of the subject since there is a variable there that changes for each group of messages sent out, otherwise I would have to create a filter for group sent. This did not work, so I was trying to key in on a string in the body with the location being text. I'm new to the TB! so this is a bit of a stretch for me, but it would a very helpful tool for tracing information in the database. Any ideals? TIA! -- Best regards, Greg mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
