Hello MAU, First of all let me say how much I appreciate your efforts and time you use to help me. Ritlabs and this list can count themselves lucky to have someone like you on the messageboard. You've helped me so many times already...that beer deal still active? ;-)

Your explanation was absolutely perfect, and while it did not work here it surely pointed me into the right direction. Heres what I did: I (as suggested by you) keep older TB versions, so it was no problem to return to 3.99.29 and start the dialog, select "New File", enter the filename, close the dialog. The dictionary appeared (strangely enough as "Language: any" beside the select box) in 3.99. But it did not work: it got lost when I reopened 3.99, and was not available in 4.0. The dic file was empty and I could not add words to it, no way. So I had a look at your registry settings (thanks for sending those along) and noticing that while your settings had a key with the correct locale id for each language ( 1034 for Spanish-Spain, 1033 for English-United States) the registry key my file was registered in had a key of "7", obviously not a valid locale. So I changed it to 1031 (German - Germany) but still no luck. What finally made it work was something you mentioned in one of your earlier mails about the subject, namely "some code in the first line of the .dic file". So I looked at the american english dictionary and found in the first line: #LID 0 I added this to my CSAPI_DE_UD.dic and voilà! It works! So I think it's even more easy to - create a textfile with the line "#LID 0" in it - create a registry key under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!\CommonSpeller with the locale ID for the desired language (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0h88fahh.aspx for those) - add a REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) named "count" in it, set the value to 1 - add a REG_SZ (String Value) in it named "File #1" with the path to the file created in step 1. Hm, not really easy. But for me that worked... So thanks again for helping. Hope my solution helps someone else, too. -- Martin TB! 4.0.14.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.0.14.3 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
