Ok, you were right :) re the new mail issue, I now get the output from addressbook but only if I choose the correct suggestion. This is also the problem when replying. However, the other issue remains open as the address is set up correctly. As mentioned before, my address book only shows one listing for this contact like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but when composing a new email and I start typing Joe I have three choices: 1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3) [EMAIL PROTECTED] In each case the actual email address is identical. So I suppose TB is checking against received emails and the contact may use different accounts where he set up accounts slightly differently (for reasons I don't understand). So, if I use option 3, then my macro will work and I guess that's a solution. Ideally though I would like to suppress options 1 and 2 as redundant and preventing my macro to work. -- Tom using TheBat! 3.99.3 on XP ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
