Probably not, confidential list subscribers can access archives and I don't see how validate= would affect it, since I believe it deals with list commands .. it's probably in one of the lines you didn't give us the info for.. * Notebook= *********** if that line has something like: * Notebook= Yes,LISTS:[ MY-LIST],Monthly,Owners instead of * Notebook= Yes,LISTS:[ MY-LIST],Monthly,Private Then only listowners can access the archives. ....Cleo [log in to unmask] Unofficial ListOwner Manuals http://angus.interspeed.net/listowner/
