Hi Barry - have solved it now by using system restore to go back 4 days to when it was working ok. I still see the same things in the edit menu though, such as the option to mark all messages as read, and as before, it is still telling me this option is unavailable! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Dj Paddy To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 11:34 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Emails saying unread after reading SOrry Andy, It was shareware have to buy to be able to view my Active X's in it now. It's one of their plus features that must only work for a few days. it was definitely called Microsoft Contact Card Active X and it was at th etop of my list, which I'm presuming was the last active X installed.

Going into Active X settings on the programs system tray menu and disabling a Microsoft Contact Card Active X control.

If I hit the application key, it tells me that "mark as read" is unavailable. Anybody know how I can change this, and get back to how it was? Thanks - Andy
