If so, I can't understand how the database was changed. I have done this many times and never had a problem.
The way I use Emailer on both a PowerBook and my "main" desktop machine is to only have one copy open at a time and "move" the Mail Folder back and forth to keep it current. Ken Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
