-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi JRS2,
@5-Mar-2003, 21:49 -0500 (02:49 UK time) JRS2 [J] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: J> Hi, I am a new user, and how I am not sounding like a whiner in J> the following. In addition to the problems listed below, it J> appears that everything has been reset....in addition to the J> address book being lost, the templates I played with and filters J> I set up are gone. This can happen when the "rug gets pulled" from under TB's feet - when folder or drive letters are changed in an unstructured way. It can also happen after a system crash. ... <snip> J> Well the start up problem has gone away.....BUT WITH IT WENT ALL J> OF MY PERSONAL ADDRESS BOOK entries. That doesn't surprise me (even though I'm having to answer this posting as it was posted - upside down!) J> Is there anyway to recover this or do I have to go back and J> recreate them again....and reorg, change, etc.....lots of hours J> of work....and still fear that they will be lost again. ... <snip> J> When I start Up I get the following box: J> J> Reads: The Bat! X Invalid argument to date encode. J> J> Any Idea what is causing this and how to fix it? This is always caused by importing Birth Dates from an OE address book. You have to scrap the address book and re-import, this time without birth dates. J> Other questions (sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED])....message was: ** I J> found your "Mail Synchronisation", but the work flow is not clear J> to me. Could you detail the steps a little more clearly? This is described fairly well in the help file. Basically there are 3 steps. Steps 1 and 3 are carried out on the system to be updated. Step 2 happens on the system providing the fresh meat. J> (not asked then, but would like to know why this would be better J> than just sync'ing the files with MS file sync) Because it does a data level merge in a way that a file synch cannot. In fact, a file synch could end up doing more harm than good. J> ** Also, how does one use/get to "The Bat! User's Discussion List J> (TBUDL)". When I click on this I get: J> MS msg: COuld not perform this operation because the default mail J> client is not properly installed....I have The BAT set as the default J> email client. click here then: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To fix the "not properly installed", go into your IE options, go to the programs tab, select OE as your default client, click apply, select TB as your default client, click apply, and now it should all work as it should. J> IN addition to above, do you have a PDF version of the "BAT J> Online Reference"? Can't help you there. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+Zr7FOeQkq5KdzaARAi9HAJ4tPwVcKAmkt+uJV6XT1lcPoosYSACfZ2z/ 4znGrNVS4uuHNTuC0NoF9yk= =Xybi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
