Actually, I had thought to do it on an individual basis, starting from an AB template and working with a .bat file renaming 1.txt->a.txt, 2.txt->1.txt and so on. Although I would have tried it out with 1 person to begin with, this would imply to create as much sets of texts as people involved... So, your solution would be more flexible...

Do yoy have examples for this? -- Greetings from Belgium & Best Wishes, Mark using The Bat! 2.02.3 CE ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
