I posted this earlier this week, but since there hasn't been any response, I thought I would try again. Way back in August 2003 I inquired about how to set up The Bat on a laptop, download e-mail from the server, and, eventually, transfer all of the downloaded e-mail to the pre-exising Bat file on my desktop. Alie's response clued me in to synchronization. Well, after 10 months, I am just getting around to setting up The Bat on the laptop, and I am running into a problem in just trying to copy the_bat_o.exe file to the laptop. When I run the setup file, I get the following error message when I attempt to install The Bat to the c:\program directory: "cannot access directory \\DESKTOP\THE BAT!\MAI"
In place of the word "desktop" is the name that I assigned to the desktop computer on our in-home network. Why would it try to access the desktop? And, even though a Bat subdirectory was created within the program directory, when I attempt to click on the bat.exe file, I get the same error message. Why? Is this a network problem or is it a problem with the way in which I configured The Bat? -- Avi Avram Sacks Chicago, IL [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, please copy any response to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as well. running The Bat 1.62r using Win XP Pro. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
