What you want to do is: ppm profile save [ filename ] Write profile of configured repositories and installed packages to the given file. If no file is given then print the profile XML to standard output. Then install the AS you want and do: ppm profile restore [ filename ] Install the packages listed in the given profile file. If no file is given try to read the profile from standard input. Jan D is on the list and someone else may have more input, but I don't believe you want to just copy it across... If you have any questions and/or problems, please let me know. Thanks. Wags ;) David R.

I have a secondary Inbox folder and trying to read the messages in the 2ndary inbox
I got some code from a reply I found on Perl Monks and brought over to my Desktop and ran the code. It does what I am after, BUT I do not want the default inbox, but another inbox. The code for the default inbox is: my $folder = $namespace-GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox); How do I get a different folder to read from messages from??? I have looked at the OLE browser, but there is way too many things to look at and I am lost at this point. Thoughts?? If you have any questions and/or problems, please let me know. Thanks.

Sorry, no time to test right now, but I suspect something like this might work: my $folder = $namespace-Folders(Outlook Data File)-Folders(Alternate Input); Thanks, Jan. That was close, but what I ended up was doing a properties against the other inbox: \\Mailbox - Email.Reports So I removed the \\ and used that portion for the first Folders and for the second Folders used Inbox and was able to read... I appreciate the insight. Know you are busy, but when the time is available, where does one find out such info. Never would have found it. I looked at the MS Outlook 12.0 Object Library. I found Folders and if that is the right Folders, I do not see it.. Again, I have it going, but when you have sometime to drop a few pointers, it would be greatly appreciated...
