I think you have given some clues as to what might be going wrong
here. I don't think you've quite got the hang of where TB lives, how
to install the upgrades and what goes where. Let's see if we can shed
some light here.
1) The_bat.exe (or the_bat149.exe or the_bat146.exe which you now
appear to be using) is ***not*** the day-to-day executable of The
Bat.
2) "thebat.exe" ***is*** the day-to-day executable but it needs to
live in an appropriate location - the installation folder.
3) Whenever you run something called The_bat***.exe it *will* be an
installer. It *will* offer to setup The Bat! for you. This is *not*
what you should be running day-to-day to load up The Bat!
4) The installer copies thebat.exe to a folder on your hard drive.
This folder defaults to being "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\". It is
in *this* location that you will find a copy of "thebat.exe" for
day-to-day use.
5) When you download an upgrade like tb153d.rar it only contains a
thebat.exe, which *must* be copied into "C:\Program Files\The
Bat!\" to work correctly.
You didn't answer my previous mail about the Address Book problems you
are having, which pointed out a number of things about the address
picker which you may not have realised.
One thing I should point out is that, of the 500+ users on this list,
not one was able to confirm that the problem you see there is
happening to them. I do multiple address picking on a daily basis and
it is a function of TB which has never faltered.
Another thing that comes to mind is that, if TB is being run from many
various locations which aren't necessarily the folder it was installed
into, then that may cause problems locating the default address book.
