Better solution: Create a directory GuitarSchool on your C: drive Create a subdirectory NextLesson Now you'll have a path C:\GuitarSchool\NextLesson Create a GuitarSchool.bat that contains: @echo off C: cd \GuitarSchool del SendLesson.bat move NextLesson\SendLesson.bat . SendLesson Place the GuitarSchool.bat and the the lesson templates in your GuitarSchool directory. You'll have to adapt your lesson templates a bit, because we're not going to BCC them anymore, just skip the addressing part from the templates. Forget about the filters adding and deleting the addresses to the different AB groups, but set the filter to export the message using this template: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe /mailU=MyAccount;T=C:\GuitarSchool\Lesson1.txt;TO=%ToAddr for the subscription filter and continue with lesson2-7. Replace MyAccount for the name of the account you intend to use You set the export action of all filters to the same file, called: C:\GuitarSchool\NextLesson\SendLesson.bat When you prefer to personalize the messages a bit, you can add the addresses in an AB group, so you can use macros like %ABToName and such. But that's dressing, so I won't discuss that any further. In order to keep you from doing things you might not understand, I'll do a quick round through the batchfile I gave you. @echo off This is merely visual, so the batch file won't send all issued command to the screen C: Select the proper drive cd \GuitarSchool Select the proper directory del SendLesson.bat Delete the SendLesson.bat that was used during the previous run (yesterday). When there isn't a yesterday's SendLesson.bat, you'll get an error, but the batch command will continue to execute. move NextLesson\SendLesson.bat . Don't forget the last dot, that's no mistake. This command moves the SendLesson.bat from the NextLesson subdirectory to the current directory (that's the meaning of the dot). This is done to avoid problems like TB wanting to add lines to a batch file that's being executed. This way you'll have two files, one that's being edited and one that is (or has been) executed. SendLesson This calls the SendLesson.bat, note that the SendLesson.bat won't be executed when you've got a SendLesson.com .exe or .cmd in your path, that's unlikely, but in case of problems, you can change it to SendLesson.bat -- Groetjes, Roelof What youth deemed crystal, age finds was dew.
