Help, I've done a stupid thing....
I have deleted a defunct account without realising that it contained ALL my templates. I used to just switch to that accounts templates when in my current account. I DO have an August 05 dated backup of all of TB!, and the templates I need haven't changed from that time. Is there a way to restore only those files containing the templates, and copy them to the current, existing account please? Otherwise hours of work creating new ones! If I do a restore from that backup will it delete messages and data added subsequent to the restore in this existing copy of TB! ?

One option is to: a) Make a backup of your current set up. b) Restore your old backup. c) Copy the templates to notepad d) Restore your latest back up e) Create new versions of the templates in an existing account. I think. Maybe. Ish. YMMV. -- Stuart Hemming Using The Bat! v3.62.12 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Aided by BayesIt! 0.8.4, MyGate v1.0, rss2pop3 v1.2, SpamPal v1.70, MyMacros 1.11a.

Initial panic over, i explored restore further ( I was frightened it may just overwrite the existing data, losing anything later than the backup files, and found i could restore the deleted account on its own! Phew, so that's saved my stupid hide... I now want to copy all the Quick Templates from account X to account Y, then delete account x completely. How do i achieve that in this beta please? -- Best regards, Chrismailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 3.62.14 Windows 2000 5 Current beta is 3.62.14 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

When you're using OTFE the file is called account.etn -- Groetjes, Roelof A vote on the tally sheet is worth two in the box.

Hello Chris Wilson everyone else, on 18-Nov-2005 at 12:53 you (Chris Wilson) wrote: I have deleted a defunct account without realising that it contained ALL my templates. I used to just switch to that accounts templates when ... I read you're back up and running again. Something completely different... may I kindly ask that this kind of questions, since we do not even have a beta version at the moment, and this very topic is not beta related anyway, be (cross-)posted to the TBUDL? I can imagine that the solution to the problem may help a lot more people on TBUDL than the (I assume already more experienced) TBBETA subscribers. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) I liked the opera very much.
