I can't offer a sollution for your problem as I understand it, but I can offer some advice so you don't need to worry about it in the future. I had the same problem when switching ISPs several years ago. I was going from dialup to cable so an Email address change was mandatory. I purchased my own domain name. I didn't get hosting and all the other bells and whistles that are available. I really didn't need them. I just notified everyone in my address book of my address change to my own domain. I kept the dialup for a month to be sure everyone got the change made. I think most companies that host domains offer free forwarding of both mail and web page URLs. If in doubt, check before you purchase. Just a domain name CAN be purchased for under $10 US per year. I have moved my web page several times between different free hosts and all that is required is a simple change of the forward. My Email will never have to change now either as I just change the forward if and when needed. On an unrelated note...you may also want to have a free Email account to help control spam. I use my Yahoo account any time an Email is required in a form or to gain access to a web site. It's simple to find the top message if they mail a password, but when they sell my Email address to 50 or so spammers, it doesn't land in my primary inbox. I just go to Yahoo once a week and delete the junk. Last time it was about 450 messages. Nothing but spam. -- Scott Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
