This appears to be much more sophisticated but alas, I fail to understand the steps ( as indicated my knowledge of macros is NIL). I put the macro as indicated in the fax field (which I don't use either) but then nothing happens. When I write a new email to someone, the information is not automatically put into the email. The signature is still either being taken from the account settings or if these are empty, no signature is added. Do I then still have to enter some entry into the text of the email to generate the macro? I tried this by typing the %QT(%ABToFax="sig1") but this did not do anything. Apart from the fact that typing this string seems more time consuming than the handle for a QT (and more difficult to remember for someone like me :) Obviously I am missing something :( -- Tom using TheBat! 3.85.02 on XP ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
