Thanks. I didn't know that. However I just did that and Outlook still isn't
connected. I closed and reopened the program several times. Would it help
if I restarted the computer? I really don't know what the problem is as I
had no problem using the old Outlook Express program.

When I installed Outlook 2003 there were prompts to connect automatically
via
a dial-up connection. Since I use DSL, not dial-up, I opted to connect
manually. That doesn't work - when I log into Outlook 2003 it keeps
prompting me to connect, even though I am currently connected. When I
indicate that I want to "use the current connection" it just repeats the
prompt. How do I fix this? I can't download new messages because I can't
get the program to connect. I was using Outlook Express before and didn't
have any problem.
