You're seeing the address groups and as they are shown as folders, you think they are folders. However, TB's address groups aren't folders, they're labels. So when you delete an entry from the root, you also delete it from the groups it was part of, because you delete the actual entry. It doesn't work the other way around (even though you seem to claim so) Deleting an entry from a group merely erases the group label for that entry. (Yes, I've tested that multiple times before posting that here.) You can also a single entry to multiple groups whether those groups have any connections with other or not. In a follow up message you found out about the 'hide items if not explicitly selected' option for an address group. Thjat option does two things. It stops the entry from being displayed in the root and when you delete such a message from a group, it'll be completely deleted from the address book. Those options stop working when you add an entry to a group with the hide items enabled and to a group without that option enabled. Adding an entry to a group with the 'hide items..' option enabled will keep it from being disp[layed in the root. So if you want it back and you create a new entry in the root, (You might want it there, after all) then you will have two entries with the same address. Look into the properties, if you've got one entry then the one entry will tell you to what groups that address belongs, but with two entries, they will show different group settings. Basically that is a bad thing. Multiple entries with the same address need to be changed all when that address changes (more work), but more important, the address book templates you've created for one of those entries won't work as expected, you'll never know what template settings you'll be using. All in all, TB's addres book is a wonderfull thing even tough you need to sit down a bit in order to understand it. -- Groetjes, Roelof Borg Moderator: Your Topic is Irrelevant. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 5.3.10 Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 5 pop3 accounts, 2 imap accounts OTFE disabled i7-2600 3.4GHz 4 GB RAM ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
