Dawn, I won't address the mail server, but I would like to commend you for at least attempting to search the archive. Some topics are a lot more straightforward and can be found in the archive and answered more easily. (Lumping and splitting is more complex.) We see a lot of newer users here askin

It is saying that Legacy wants to create a file (missing.txt) in its program folder and Windows 7 - with its strict permission controls - won't allow it to write in the Program folder. That's what the experts in W 7 are telling me. Jeff On 1/27/2010 6:06 AM, Ron Ferguson wrote: > malka...@orthohe
