Re: Address Book Question
Thanks to all who helped with my Address Book problem. I created a new address book, created groups under it which mirrored the old groups, and then copied and pasted the contacts from the old groups to the new ones. I was able to create a new group at the correct level. I deleted the old groups. All seems to be fine. I appreciate all the suggestions I received. Thanks again.

Hello Mike, Tuesday, May 17, 2016, 6:54:16 AM, among other things, you wrote: MG> There is no Personal Address Book at the top. At the very top is my first group. Nothing above that. It seems that you did not create an 'Address Book' with a name before you created your first group. You now need an address book before you can create new and unlinked groups. Go to "File' menu and create an address book or books with whatever name(s) you like, and then move the existing groups to them. Usually, by default, TB has an address book called 'Personal address book' which suits most users.. -- Best regards, Roger Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Jack, Two points... 1. Creating an image of your running system is a good solution, but never forget : it allow you to restore the whole working system, but on the same or similar computer... when you need to move to a new system (another hardware / another OS), you should reinstall from scratch your apps and reconfigure from scratch, only restoring datas there's of course a lot of solutions allowing you to (partly) restore settings, but you would have a much better system if you do not try to adapt your old settings on the new system, but directly adapt your datas for the new settings of the new system. 2. You may migrate a fat partition to NTFS without the need to reformat and thus without loosing the datas on it... have a look at convert.exe commandline utility what you need to know before : if you convert your USB HDD to NTFS it could not be used anymore on something else than Windows... it means you cannot use it anymore to connect to a PS3, DVD Player, TV, Photo Frame, audio car system,... and it could be much more difficult to revert to FAT than converting to NTFS, as windows itself does not allow natively to FAT32 format a partition bigger than 32GB...

My problems (read confusion) came about because as I mentioned, the old laptop had been upgraded from native Win XP to Win 7. My lack of knowledge of native Win 7 caused me considerable consternation in trying to figure out how I had managed to cause two PROGRAM FILES folders to appear on the C: drive. If a similar HDD crash were to occur on this new laptop and I had an image of the HDD before the crash, I would simply replace the HDD and restore from the image. That would be my reasoning for creating an image of this new laptop. I would create images, perhaps weekly, and then continue doing regular daily routine (not image) backups. SB 2.

Re: Address book help
Hi Jack, From your message, i could point some errors you've made... Your old laptop and your new one does not use the same system (32 bits vs 64 bits,...), and thus you cannot just restore any file/settings like that (and certainly not any executable)... \PROGRAM FILES folder is for program running natively on the system (on your new system, 64 bits programs), when \PROGRAM FILES(x86) is for old 32 bits programs... Now you've placed some files of a 32bits program (The Bat!) in the 64 bits folder, just the right way to have mistakes... When you reinstall a new computer, you could of course restore your own data, but you should not restore settings as settings are partly dependent of the system. Settings from your old computer may not be adapted to your new computer (it's the case here with the PF directory name). For TheBat!, you have a backup/restore function to do what you want, much more easily and without the need to pay HP for the support :) Easy : on the old computer, you do a backup, on the new computer, you install thebat, then you restore the backup. done :) Le mercredi 14 juillet 2010 à 23:59:46, vous écriviez : This next point perhaps should be addressed to TBOT but it may have some bearing here. The new laptop's HDD has two folders; one named PROGRAM FILES and one named PROGRAM FILES(x86). Each folder contains a TB! folder but the TB.exe is in the PFx86 folder. All of the .abd files are in the PF folder. I copied her .abd file to the PF(x86) folder and selected it to be opened while I was in in the address book window.

SB Your old laptop and your new one does not use the same system (32 bits vs 64 bits,...), and thus you cannot just restore any file/settings like that (and certainly not any executable)... I did not know this. We bought the new laptop knowing that it would come with Windows 7 installed but *NOT* realizing that it would be the 64 bit version. Even had we known about it being 64 bit I would have automatically assumed that it would function as the old 32 bit version did. SB \PROGRAM FILES folder is for program running natively on the system (on your new system, 64 bits programs), when \PROGRAM FILES(x86) is for old 32 bits programs... When I was attempting to restore the old backup onto the new machine, the Windows backup I had on my USB HDD didn't seem to work so I used the Carbonite off-site backup to do the restore. Then when I had trouble getting TB! to work I looked at the folders on the C: drive and was surprised to find a PROGRAM FILES folder *AND* a PROGRAM FILES(x86) folder. Since I had no knowledge of the structure of the 64 bit OS, I assumed I had somehow accidently created the PF(x86) by first trying to do the restore with the old Windows backup, abandoning that method and going with the Carbonite backup. SB Now you've placed some files of a 32bits program (The Bat!) in the 64 bits folder, just the right way to have mistakes... Perhaps, but at least TB! now seems to be working properly. I have not yet done a TB! backup but I'm thinking that might be a good idea and once completed, flag the TB! backup as a file which should be included in the on-going Carbonite backup.

However, silly me, I wanted to save the new address book in the same folder the TB executable is in. Why? Oh I don't know. Maybe to keep all things BAT together? OH! No, no, no. Bill Gates won't let me do that with his new 64bit Windows 7 OS. I kept getting an error message that said I couldn't do that and I had to contact the system administrator. I AM the system administrator. Hence the $60 wasted on HP tech support only to have them tell me that that's the way the OS is designed. Great, thanks a pantload. Fortunately (I guess) Mr. Gates deigned to allow me to create a folder in the C:\PROGRAM FILES(x86) folder, where the TB executable is located, and I called it TB!-ADBs. Once that folder was created I then created a new address book and saved it in that folder. I was then able to import from the cleaned-up CSV file into the new address book and everything seems to be working just peachy fine.

So if all 3 entries have the same email address, although you call the joint entry by nickname, it still goes back and finds Joe's solitary entry when looking for the template to use. Try changing the email address (temporarily) in the address book entry for him alone, and creating an email from the main screen. If it then goes to the AB template from the joint entry (or even the one for Sue alone) it will prove this to be the case. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.99.25 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Popfile v0.22.4 Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If there was not an attribute between a starting tag closing and an ending tag /closing, it would return Yours Sincerely.

RO You can either convince your contact to send a message with RO some trigger string to you in order to be added to your AB RO group (like an opt in mailing list) or send yourself messages RO with their address in the from header. RO After that you create an incoming filter that checks whether the from RO address is in your AB group, in case it is it won't trigger, in case RO it isn't the filter will add the address to the group and will also RO sen a message. This works. Actually I have two groups set up, one is for addresses that I don't want added to the first group. The filter check both and adds if both groups are missing the address. -- Best regards, Scottmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BayesIt! 0.5.5 Using The Bat! 2.12.00 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A pgp key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Body=Please%20send%20keys Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I use TB!'s macros in conjunction with PowerPro to get a useful (enough for me anyway) faux PIM. I can open the address book, pick a name, hit a hotkey and a new message opens up with all the pertinent (at least what I consider pertinent) address book information about that person in it.
