That's .srb file. I made a dyslexic typo. Very bad thing when discussing file extensions. My sincere apologies. A .srb file is a file created to store filters. You may not find one in your The Bat!/MAIL/"account name" (where "account name" is the name of your particular account in The Bat!). If you don't, it is that the version you are running did not create it, and so you should just ignore this part of my advice. I simply deleted mine. The installation procedure created a new file with my converted filters in it. But others here, when I posted this advice in an earlier thread, said that it was safer to re-name. scc> What does it hold or do? See above. As I understand it, The Bat! creates this file automatically to contain filters. scc> Do I rename the file extension, the main part of the name, or scc> both? ... I should think that the file extension renaming would be sufficient, As I said, it's a substitute for deletion--a sort of extra back-up. The Bat! will create a new .SRB scc> Do the files then get renamed back to what they were after scc> installation? No, a new file will be created. And after you've had a look at your filters in the New Filter System in the Sorting Office/Filters and they are reasonably okay, then you may safely just delete the renamed file. Or archive it somewhere else, if you tend to be as paranoid as I am about this sort of thing. The path to mine in the account that I use for the TB! mailing lists is: C:/Program Files/The Bat!/MAIL/m.bull/ACCOUNT.SRB That's for my m.bull Account. I hope this helps. You might want to let it sit on the tbudl list overnight before doing anything, just in case some more knowledgeable person finds something to correct in what I'm saying. -- Best regards, Mary :Trill: The Bat! 3.0.1.33 (Professional Edition) on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
