I agree, but would like to add connection settings and servers to the list of data related to the local system. When going away, I usually copy my whole TB! directory to my laptop. I have intentionally set up my systems quite similar to ensure this is possible (same folder structure etc) and I must say this already works quite nice. There is a few annoyances though, one of them being that I every time have to change my SMTP server. I do not use the same server when travelling as I do at home, but the SMTP server setting seem to be stored somewhere in the files I copy. The only files I make sure are *not* copied are: \MAIL\Account.~flb \MAIL\Account.flb \MAIL\<account name>\Account.~flb \MAIL\<account name>\Account.flb \MAIL\except.log \MAIL\<account name>\Account.log The latter two are excluded by obvious reasons. The former four I don't remember why I exclude, but maybe it gives you some hints of which settings I don't want synchronized between my computers? Hope this helps. -- Regards, Marcus Ohlstr�m Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 PGP Public Key at http://www.canit.se/~marcus/pgp.asc ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.1 Deep Alpha | '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/
