Hi All, FYI: Igo from support asked for a copy of my MDB, sent and it duly returned with the note that he had added the field TYPE which was required to function not added by my version (5.00) but added by later versions. Now, I have only run version 5.0 and it was created with this. Yes, I can now add and modify records outside of iadmin However I still had the same problem when it comes to adding something the main table as an extra field, with all imail services switched off something still had hold of it! I found it though, using Taskmanger I inspected processes and much to my surprise there were two (yes two) instances of iadmin still running although nothing on the screen, shut these down and I was able to edit the table. Surley this is not right ........... OK, so I need to update my version of Imail, I downloaded all the patches but when I go to upgrade to 504 I get: Patch error: Old file not found (behind on the update bar it was reporting iamdin.exe), however, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match. It then aborts. I tried renaming iadmin.exe to something else and got another patch error: Old file does not exist I am stuck in a loop, OK maybe if I install each patch in numerical order ie 5.01 over 5.00, 5.02 over 5.01 etc this problem with come out in the wash, no such luck, installing the 5.01 patch I get exactly the same messages however it is the file adduser.exe ........ I am loosing patients now, sorry, but things are looking pretty buggy, any suggestions .............. I am beginning to wonder if IMail is the commercial application I was expecting from the documentation Steve Steve
