That means that the entries in one account's AB can be inaccessible to other accounts. Thus enabling you to have multiple entries for the same contact (in different ABs) and still have the expected output when you're using different AB-templates for each of them. This could come in handy when you're having a contact that's both a personal friend and a business contact and you want to use different AB templates in depending on the account (and thus the AB) that you're using. The advantage of one AB is that all of your contacts are available to all accounts. You can do your filtering based on AB-groups (you can't filter on the ABs themselves). When a contact changes his address, you don't have to go through all of your ABs, just change it in your one AB. As I'm doing a lot of filtering based on ABs, my preference is clear. -- Groetjes, Roelof The Bat! 2.13 "Lucky" Beta/5 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 1 pop3 account, server on LAN Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
