Outlook needs Outlook Express to work
I've installed my Outlook 2002 on my new Vista PC (I had Xp before). Now when I start Outlook it says "requires Outlook Express 4.01 or greater". I've been looking for Outlook Express to download and install but no joy. No CD came with my new Vista PC. Any ideas, short of buying a more modern Outlook? Vista doesn't actually support Outlook 2002 or older. Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer but with the advent of Vista, it was switched to Windows Mail. There is no more Outlook Express. You could attempt however to create a profile using workgroup or c...

Auto-format in Microsoft Excel.
Each time i try to enter a number range, for example, 8- 10, in Excel, it constantly re-formats it to a date. If I change the formatting to "General" it turns it into a random number, usually 38209. I would like to turn off ALL auto-formatting, but that's probably asking too much. How do I disable this frustrating feature? thanks. Hi Paul When you enter "8-10" in a cell, that's not strictly a number but Excel thinks you mean a date so converts it as such. A date is a number and in your example the number 38209 represents August 10 2004 which is not a ra...

outlook.exe not terminating
I'm running Office XP with Outlook 2002 under Windows XP Pro, current as of today, except that I have reverted the IE update to the previous version of mshtml.dll that scrolls correctly (this has had no effect on the problem I am about to describe). I typically have a lot of applications running - no big deal as I have a 3.04 P4 with 1GB of memory. A problem that happens several times a day is that outlook.exe remains in the Task Manager process list after I shut Outlook down. In older versions, there used to be a message that said "Please wait while Outlook shuts down&qu...

New Disk storage
Hi, I'm planning on adding a new SAN to our Exchange system (Active/Passive 2 node cluster) and this has been connected to the Exchange cluster nodes and is accessible as shared disk storage. But that isn't the question I've got, basically the mail stores are currently located on a Powervault (Drive S:) and I need to present a plan for moving this data (14 databases) onto the SAN storage, I can see two options Option1) Use the ESM to migrate databases to new drive letter 1. Use exmerge to export all email to PST files (and ensure backup) 2. use the ESM utility to change the...

Max number of Rules in Outlook
Hi everyone: Just a simple question that may be a common curiosity: does anyone know what is the max number of rules I can set up in Outlook? I have reached about 70 rules and the I get the message that there is no further space on the server. Maybe it is just a matter of room and the number it is not a limitation? Thanks for answering. Cheers That's it indeed; you can only store up to 32KB of e-mail rules. Disabled rules don't count but you're properly better of combining some rules or see if they are still needed. -- Roady [MVP] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the mo...

Password Issue with MS Money 2003
Hello, I am not familiar with newsgroups but I hope it is a forum to seek assistance. I am unable to reach MS support via email from my home computer on this issue.

Outlook 2003 and "Check Names"
Hi, We are testing Outlook 2003 at our office now and there is one very frustrating "feature" that is bugging all of us. When we create a new e-mail message and type in the first name of a person from the global address book and hit ctrl- k to check the name...we get a response that Outlook doesn't recognize the name and there are "no suggestions". The only way Check Name will successfully resolve the name is if we type it last name first (ie, Gates, Bill). This was not the case in Office XP or Outlook 2000. You could search by first name (or partial first name)...

How can I change 'Normal' Style for Word e-mails to 'Normal (Web)'?
Hi, I'm using Word as my e-mail editor in Outlook 2003 and want to change the default Style for e-mails from 'Normal' to 'Normal (Web)'. The problem is that new e-mails and replies in HTML format use the 'Normal' Microsoft Word 'Style', and this has no gap after paragraphs. The upshot of this is that when sending an e-mail, I have to press return twice to create a gap, but when the recipient views this, their software shows it as four gaps (the extra carriage return I typed + their correctly viewed HTML carriage return after each line). E.g. I type this: ...

Phone number normalizing and auto-formatting
I really appreciate the way that Outlook auto-normalizes phone numbers - for example, here in the US, I can enter 5555555555 and Outlook automagically formats that to (555) 555-5555. Why CRM 3.0 doesn't do this out of the box is strange but if anyone has ideas on how to implement, that'd be greatly appreciated. I've worked very hard to normalize all my data before import, but I know it's a matter of time before our users (ok, our sales people) destroy all that hard work by entering garbage into every phone field entry that the system cannot auto-normalize and error ch...
