I don't believe Mike wishes to mark messages stored on the server 'Read by client A', only to mark them 'Read' (as usual). He seems to want his client B to always download messages from the server even though they already possess the 'Read' attribute) and then mark the message 'Read' locally if they possess that flag on the server. take care, Cael ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
