This happened a while ago in an MS update and it depends on a few things where the tilde file ends up on your system. It is on desktop on most but in My Documents, for example, on mine. It is a WAB file or an email address book. Not a good idea sending that to a list, BTW. Greg. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
