Some attempts resulted in an address book containing a single address which was to The Bat! Team. All my personal addresses were gone. No amount of copying the jackADDRBOOK.INI file to a couple of different locations and then loading from those locations ever resulted in my regaining my complete address book. Only when I loaded from the Program Files(x86) location would my addresses come back. So, for the moment I'm giving up. I had already given the TB! shortcut permission to run as an administrator which solved the original problem in the first post. It's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong (as is my wont) but I'll never know without further experimentation, which scares the squat out of me. Nevertheless, I appreciate your help. -- Regards, Jack Using TB! ver 6.0.12 with 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
