I'd like to preserve the settings in several of my accounts, especially the templates in one of them. I've now renamed each Account the way they are named in my "old" Bat file. Your instructions said to: >3. Re-create your accounts as they were before (same names, same pathes >for mail directories) - one by one. I think I've done that now. I always use the default path for mail directories, so I should be good there, too. >For each account you created, copy the files you backed up before >back, then check to see if the program is still running. That way, >you can identify the account thats giving you the headache. I have some more questions about the above. What files do I copy over, and to where do I copy them? For example, there's a folder in the "old" file (in the MAIL directory) that is named "John Doe." Do I copy that file *over* the "John Doe" folder in my "new" Bat files? I.e., do I select the old "John Doe" folder, type Ctrl-C, move to the new "John Doe" folder, select it, and then type Ctrl-V? And when you say "check to see if the program is running" do you mean that I should then try to open TB? >4.When you found the problematic account, try to remove/rename the >account configuration files (account.xxx) one by one. You will >eventually find the configuration file that is causing the problems. Okay. I find 6 "account configuration files (account.xxx) in the "old" Bat file. Account.~FLB Account.CFG Account.CFN Account.FLB Account.FLX Account.SRB I assume those are the "account configuration files" that you're referring too? So, if, for example, TB doesn't open up after copying over the "John Doe" file, I should go back into the "new" Bat files and remove/rename, one at a time, each of those accounts (e.g., Account.CFN, etc.)? Which makes me think that TB recreates them each time it's loaded if one (or more) of them isn't already there, right? What if I end up with the same problem that brought me here in the first place? I need a beer... A little more hand-holding, please! -- Best regards, Jack ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
