Robin used UEdit as text editor, what do you use? You'll need something that is suited for batch files, ie a dos style program not a a windows style program. You could use: c:\windows\command\edit.com rg> The way it is now TB just locks up (solid!) while I edit the email. That's understandable. You think the second line of your batch file is started while you're still busy editing. That means that TB tries to open a file that's already opened and your OS doesn't allow that, therefore TB can't import the file. In this problematic situation TB decides to freeze because it's doing something it can't finish. Might be sloppy programming, it should give you an error message and quit on the importing action, but if it did that, you'd have to import the message manually, so maybe this isn't as bad... -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00.6 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
