I like being able to do that DW> too (though I don't do it on exit). It's working pretty well for me now, too! I had no idea that the pointer was being deleted. I'm not sure when or how the Compress on Exit feature got turned on (unless it is on by default). However, as I mentioned to Allie, I'm not sure why that would change the last read mail pointer. I have used many other databases where this is not the case. I can think back to the BBS days where all of my databases (on Wildcat!) were compressed once a week as an automated event. If all of my users lost their last read pointers, they would have been very upset. (Looking back on it - another mail product with an exclamation point in its name!) :) By the way, looking back at my last several posts, one might think my responses to you were antagonistic. I hope you did not take it that way. That certainly was not my intent. I simply was trying to find a solution - perhaps I was getting a bit frustrated trying to help others understand what I was looking to do. This is not exactly what I was looking for, but it now works pretty well for me. I don't need to compress all the time - that's for sure. -- Cheers!
