Right now the Admin interface is just using [writefile] to put this same information in the EmailerPrefs file, but eventually the email functions will be rolled into WebCatalog itself, and the need for the second prefs file (and separate application) will disappear.Hope this clears things up,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
