At least it's not even as nearly that bad taking over your PC as M$ programs. rg> I moved the attachment directory and the files within so rg> of course now TB thinks the (affected) attachments are 0-byte files! Anyone? Well, you gotta inform TB where you moved them. In general: use account/folder properties to move things around. -- Kind regards, Peter Ouwehand E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - Created the above using A program which insists to be : The Bat!
