OK. Since this is the way the date must be listing in the ini file: SelectMessageStartDate = 1/1/98 00:00:00 SelectMessageEndDate = 12/31/01 23:59:59 I need to find a way to run a script to change the date on those lines dynamicly. Too bad there is not a date code command line option: EXMERGE [-B] [-D] [-F FILENAME] [-LOGMIN | -LOGMED | -LOGMAX] [-SRCSERV SOURCESERVERNAME] [-TGTSERV TARGETSERVERNAME] Any body good a scripting?
