Curious, I did a search for my addressbook file. I found two that matched (sort of) the file in question. One was C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Roaming\The Bat!\ADDRBOOK.INI and the other was C:\Program Files (x86)\The Bat!\jackADDRBOOK.INI. The most recent write to either file was the latter, today, so I assume that's the working file. The last write to the former was way back in Aug of 2015 so I don't think that's a valid file. I remember trying to learn more about the address books some time ago and that file may have been one I created in my learning quest. So much for cleaning up after yourself. As a test, just now I changed the name of the C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Roaming\The Bat!\ADDRBOOK.INI file and then opened the address book while in TB!, made some changes and then closed the address book without any difficulty. So, that, coupled with the ancient write date leads me to believe that that file is not part of the working TB! So you would be correct in your assumption that my address book is housed in the Program Files (x86) folder where apparently you need administrator privileges to write to that file. But, I'm now sure that it has always been in that folder and yet I've never needed administrator privileges prior to upgrading to Win 10. Thank you so much Mr. Gates. -- Regards, Jack LaRosa Central Alabama USA Using TB! 6.0.12 OS: Windows, --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
