Jim, This happens to me EVERY time I do a backup while Powermail is open. When it happens, I quit, and restart powermail - problem fixed.
Thus I quit powermail every evening so my backup can be performed.... +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Bill Schjelderup, President [EMAIL PROTECTED] COMPanion Corporation 801-943-7277 voice 1831 Fort Union Blvd. 801-943-7752 fax Salt Lake City, Utah 84121-3041 www.companioncorp.com +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Nusquam est qui ubique est. - He who is everywhere is nowhere.
