Re: Scheduler - reasons to go V2

on how to use a program's features, and indeed what features are available, is in itself a vital feature. Failure to provide one is poor programming, IMO. -- Paul Richardson Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4

Changing From in Address Book template

Is there any method of changing the Identity for an address book template? There is no such tab when creating an address book template, and the template created inherits the folder's Identity setting. TIA -- Paul Richardson Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
