Hello Marck,
I am replying to you from the now reinstalled 1.53, which still is not
giving me the address book where I need it. I agree with all you wrote
and understand. And I am very happy that no one else has my problem,
because it makes me confident we can figure this out.
thebat.exe file is residing where it should, in "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\".
Not only have I reinstalled 1.53 several times, but I actually have gone
back to the Ritlabs download page and downloaded a fresh version, if there
is such a thing. Still, no address book where it should be viewed. The
questions you asked earlier, about File, save, etc...none of that
exists.I will try again to explain:
If I go to reply to an email, or if I start an new email, I get a page
where at the top of the window, I see in the blue window
bar: Edit Mail Message.
Below that, are the words...Message, Edit, Search, Utilities, Spell
Checker, Privacy, View, Options. Next row is icons of the tasks,
including "Send the letter" and "Put the letter in the Outbox".
Next row, I see the word 'TO'(above the word 'Subject')...and at the end
of that bar are 3 little option boxes.
***this is where I am unable to view any address book..the 3rd box***
The first has a black scroll down arrow (view history). Next, I see a
blue arrow pointing towards the right. It is to 'add to the address
book', but there is no + sign here.I can R click on it, and a drop
down menu appears. In addition to the words UNDO, CUT, COPY, PASTE,
SELECT ALL, I see a partial address book. If I SELECT ALL, it does not
select all. Now the 3rd square has the address book icon. If I R click
on it, I get the same thing I did when I R click on the blue arrow
just mentioned. But a L click brings up a window with the blue bar at
the top. It says 'Pick E-mail addresses' and it opens up an empty
address book. (it should say 'intermediate'.I also see TO/CC/BCC,
but there are no names that are
highlightable...or available to select. No,I do not see a + sign,
only the hot tip when the cursors rests over the blue arrow box.
If I go to 'tools'on the main TB page, I can see my intermediate
address book and I also see *file/edit/view*.
>From there, I can add a new contact or a group or edit properties.
Also, on that same main TB page, between 'redirect the selected
message' and 'message search' is another way I am able to access the
address book..and my names are all in there. But that is all I do
there...add a contact, edit it, etc. When I want to BCC to many, I need
to have access to my address book where I can highlight multiple
names, on the page I am trying to describe to you. Please tell me know
that you know which page I am referring to.
If I go back to another version, I do not have the problem.
