In retrospect it sure would have been easier to simply rename the MESSAGES.TBN file as you originally suggested instead of going through the procedures I eventually undertook. But my abject fear of losing all 1900-plus messages caused me to exercise an absurd amount of caution. Remember, this was my wife's TB! Somehow, it just seemed safer to do it the way I eventually did. Fortunately, it worked and now it's documented in the archives for the next poor shulb faced with the same thing. >> I have just one remaining question though, the original Faux inbox folder >> when >> viewed using WE showed A LOT of .tmp files, some quite large.

Anymore? That implies that they were needed at some point in the past does it not? Were they generated from previous versions and then just never cleaned out with successive upgrades? -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
