Someone else will have to give a more definitive answer than that. I tried it here, and they don't seem to get along all that well; Outlook complains about a missing ordinal, and Windows wants to repair system files. It's only barely mentioned in the help file; you have to use the Find button in order to get the single reference to the subject. -- --Scott. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.62r under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1on an AMD Athlon XP 1900 (1.6G real, 1.9G effective) with 512MB.
