How did you fare? Setting things up in way that's trouble free can be tricky. This is an excerpt of the 'recipe' I wrote in TBBETA: ,----- / mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | I suggest settings things up the following way. This is how I have | things working. The basic setup is to have most folders using a specific | view setting, enabled via the folder properties. | | First, right-click the message list header bar and select 'NONE'. This | makes all folders revert to using none as their view mode. | | Now select a folder you wish to use one of your special views. Via the | folder's properties panel, enable this view as a specific view for that | folder. Below that config option is the 'Copy To' button. Use that to | copy the View setting to other folders you wish to use that View. This | is now a lot faster than the routine we had before of having to enable | 'Use default column settings' in each folders properties. Do the | same for other views until things are setup. | | From then on, things should behave pretty well, provided you | override/switch views for a single folder, using the 'Folder View Mode' | menu accessed by either right clicking on a folder where it's in that | context menu, or using the main windows main 'Folder' menu. You can also | do the same using shortcuts. Do NOT use the message column headers | context menu to switch folder views since this view switch is *global* | and cannot be overridden by folder specific views settings. | | Finally, if you use Alt-0, Alt-1 or any other sorting option while | viewing a folder using one of your views, you're in effect, altering | that views settings, pretty much as you'd be doing if you were to adjust | the column widths. | | The only way to do that sort of thing without affecting a Views setup is | to have the folder using its own column setup and not using one of your | special view modes. `----- Of course, if things are working for you then don't change things. However, if things are messing up then try this method. I'm also pre-empting the help others may start calling for. -- .-""", /____, \ -=allie_M=- | List Moderator {_____}`{} __________________________________________ (/ . . \) Using TB! v2.02 CE on WinXP Pro (SP1) {`-=^=-`} - { ` } PGP Key - http://www.ac-martin.com/pgpkeys.html { } `-,-` ŻŻ
