Neither the text file "pcwsmileys.msl" nor the folder "pcwimages" exist anywhere on my computer. CANCEL RED ALERT! File/folder found! I have a program called SEARCH EVERYTHING (http://www.voidtools.com/) which will find anything you type in it's search bar (I thought). Using that program showed me that the two files above didn't exist, but of course, they did. I don't know why the program failed to find them but they were buried where they shouldn't have been within The Bat! In searching the web for references to this problem I found some old correspondence from Miguel where he lists the files/folders which should be in TB's Images folder. As a last-ditch effort I searched around my TB folder in PROGRAM FILES (x86) and opened every folder in there. Lo and behold, there they were. Moving them to the IMAGES folder solved everything. How they got moved in the first place I have no idea except that I vaguely remember the problem starting after my last TB upgrade. So, once again my profound thanks to you and Miguel for all the help. Nice to see you both again. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
