While overall system integrity is certainly something that I worry about all the time, I think I've got this one in hand. My client machines have a desktop shortcut that launches the copy that lives on the server, not a local copy - in fact, after the initial installation of TB! to get the registry settings in place, there's no trace of TB! anywhere on the client system except for the desktop icon. All the message base updating (compacting and such) is done by the server. The indices, of course, are changed all the time - every time someone reads a message it's flagged as read, etc. I've never had a bad index file (knock on wood here), but they can be easily tossed and rebuilt. And backups. Did I mention that nothing beats a good backup? <snip> MDP> - -- MDP> Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator MDP> TB! v1.62/Beta7 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 <snip some more> Er...I'm a bit confused about your - -- line before your sig, since it obviously doesn't clip anything off (I've snipped the rest of it by hand)... -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
