Yes this would work. But its what I am trying to avoid doing... As I have an address group who are all referred to by their handles... I can see there is a way of using this in the help file... Just I can't get it to work. I basically want to avoid doing 10 separate templates and have just one for the group as a whole. Thank you anyway Mary. It is my fault for not being clear about what I wanted to achieve. I think its an English trait. -- Have Fun, Ben Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] crashing The Bat! v3.86.03 ALPHA (beta) falling out of mid air with Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 The school board decided to remove speech and debate from the course schedule; there was no argument. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
