I realize I could just back it up, but my directory structure is different. Also for a newbie it is a very confusing description of what to do. The other aspect of this is that when I read my email on two different machines, I get different info on the two machines, and I want to be able to syncronize the other way, from Machine B to Machine A, so they both have the same info. -- Best regards, Stuart mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 25 shopping days left til Xmas. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
