Is there any way to get to see what it contains? Create a new folder in The Bat! named "test". Close The Bat!. Open your file manager and copy the TBB file to "test" (overwrite the existing TBB). Start The Bat!. Open the folder "test". The messages should be there. -- Cheers Peter Never argue with an idiot.
