I did this. You have solved the problem! All the old attachments will open now, just like the four new ones do. It took me some time, because I first moved the .tmp files to another folder, as you suggested, rather than deleting them. After I was able to open the attachments successfully, I then deleted the 88 bat.tmp files. It's not a familiar activity for me, and I had trouble controlling the mouse to highlight them in selected blocks rather than one at a time. I wasn't sure whether I should delete the .tmp files which were not The Bat! files, so I didn't. I don't have the words to say how much joy it brings me to have this problem solved. Thank you very much, Urban. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
