On point - depending on how long you will be away, will your mailbox on the server hold the number of messages ? Also, if you leave everything on the server then every time you log on with your laptop you'll have to download and review *all* the files on the server - and again, depending on the number of files that may take some time to do and the whole object is to spend a little time on-line ?? Maybe some time making sure only essential files are left on the server may save time overall ! -- Best regards, Barry2 Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
