Hi Paul Well I guess I'll just have to type in the address a few times as my test worked. It has memorised the vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx address My next query is when I go to a new message it seems to open a word document which does not contain an address book option, Have I something wrong here. I've saved all the tutorials for the weekend, I bet the explanation to all this is in it.. Please excuse if it is. Edel
