Moving from Outlook 2003
I'm sure this topic has been covered if someone could help me find the information. I'm currently using TB 3.95 for one business. However, I'm involved in a second business which uses Microsoft Outlook 2003. Please don't tell me how bad it is. I already know that. I'm trying to convince my partner to move from Outlook to TB, and I have some questions: 1A. Can TB data files be stored on a networked external hard drive so that we can access the mail from two computers and a laptop? We do NOT need to access the mail at the same time, but we do need to look at it and respond to it from the two desktops and the laptop at different times easily. 1B Will we have to buy three versions of TB (one for each computer and one for the laptop) and still be able to access the same data files from all three computers? I'm a bit fuzzy on how this would work. 2. Our Outlook mail is currently in a PST file which is approaching 1 gb. Our mailboxes have folders and sub-folders. Will TB import all the mail and mailboxes correctly so that we won't have lost anything? I'm not asking for a guarantee here, just some advice on the general reliability of the import process. 3. What we'd do, probably is download a trial version of TB onto my computer (since I already have some experience with it) and test the importing and data file setup. I definitely want to keep the test installation completely separate from my current one. Is it possible to run two different versions so they don't interfere with one another? Thanks for any help. -- Mike Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
How to type Euro symbol in The Bat!
Hi TBUDL, Can any of you tell me how I would enter the symbol for the Euro while typing a message in The Bat!? I am using the Western European (ISO) character set.

I can get the euro character (€) with {right alt}+E. But that's
because I'm using a German keyboard. :P
A more general way would be this: hold alt and type 0128 on the numeric
pad. I'm not sure if it works for you, because the ascii numbers above
0127 can be different on different machines.
I found my wisdom here:

I don't know where I've picked up AltGr+5, but it's there for me.

Re: How to type Euro symbol in The Bat!
Hi TBUDL, Can any of you tell me how I would enter the symbol for the Euro while typing a message in The Bat!? I am using the Western European (ISO) character set. The various reponses indicates why its a generally bad idea to use currency symbols in email. Different machines display the symbol differently. Thus all currency should be, I would suggest, follow this protocol: http://www.jhall.demon.co.uk/currency/by_abbrev.html eg: UK pounds = GBP US dollars = USD Ozzie dollars = AUD Euro = EUR etc etc -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.99.3 with K9 on Windows XP 5.1 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Thanks to all of you who have replied to my request for help. I've chosen to reply to your message, Jernej, because when I used the Alt+0128, suggested by Urban, Peter, and Costas either directly or through the links to which the pointed me, I noticed that the character set in which I was writing the message changed to the Latin 9 apparently on its own. On the page to which Urban pointed me, I found this footnote to the entry for Others in the answer to the How do I access the euro symbol? list: On standard US keyboards, hold down either the Alt key and type 0128 on the numeric keypad part of your keyboard. The AltGr combinations listed are not implemented on US keyboard, as users expect both right and left Alt keys to have the same effect. As I am using a US keyboard, the Alt+0128 was all I have access to. Amusingly, I checked this link... http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/euro.html ... (before I posted my request here), and it said if Alt+0128 works I should consider it an illusion. ;-) Marten, you could be right that it would be better to use something other than monetary symbols. We'll see whether my Australian friend, to whom I am writing, will see it as the Euro symbol or not.

mass mailing and AB
