Thanks, I will go with the 'typing it in route' (I want to forward a message and can't do that by right clicking on the group in the address book itself). I was actually hoping the Bat's address book would be like Outlook's - a group is listed in the root of the book and all you have to do is click on the group name once and then click the add button (or double click the group name) and the group is added to the message. Oh well, maybe in a future version of the Bat, but I won't hold my breath. The address history - I don't know what it does. I go to those preferences, click the help button (the options themselves aren't very descriptive about what they actually do) and all I get is 'missing context help topic 14119' (typical of the poor documentation/help file for the Bat unfortunately). If anyone could explain what the address history is, that would be nice. It sounds promising, but without knowing exactly what it does, I can't tell if it will solve my problem or not. -- Regards, Mr Happy ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
