I'm not sure that will solve the problem, Jim. At least not the way you described it. The way it was explained to me, the EasyPlex program checks to see if you have an address book. If you don't, it assumes you are a new user and gives you all the "Welcome to EasyPlex" garf. So, sending a 'plex to yourself won't make any difference, if this is indeed the case. What one must do, instead, is to create an address book. This can be done quite simply with your method: send yourself (or anyone else) an EasyPlex. The system will ask you for your name. Once you give it, it will ask if you want this to become your EasyPlex name for future use. THIS is the crucial question: answer yes, and it will never prompt you again, AND create your address book. All this is predicated on that explanation of how EasyPlex works; if it's off, this is all wet. But I thought I should mention it. Rick
