Hi, Bill,

In attempting to solve a different Office2007problem (horrid
performance)
I removed Desktop Search. After rebooting once Search was removed, I
found
that theTo-DoBarproblems had disappeared along with (some of) the
performance problems.

Strange.

thanks,
Michelle

Creating a new profile won't effect your current one. Just add a POP3
account to it.

news Hi, Bill R,

Here's what I have done that is recommended in the knowledge base:

* Selected/clicked "Tasks" in theTo-DoBaroptions dialog
* Selected/clicked "Display...Tasks...To-DoBar...etc." in the Personal
Folders properties dialog

I'm a bit leery about opening a new profile because it seems like
opening
another potential can of worms in order to address a relatively simple
problem. My profile is complicated--I have 20 POP email accounts and
one
Exchange email account, as well as a huge (3G) pst file, therefore I
fear
even more issues when creating a new profile. Do you think that's a
resolution, or is it simply a trouble-shooting technique?

thanks,
michelle

You could try with a new profile and open your old PST and copy the
data
over.

Outlook2007. In Calendar view, I have theTo-DoBaropen. I've
check-boxed
Date Navigator, Appointments andTasks. Date Navigator and
Appointments
appear, but in place ofTasksi get message: "The operation failed.
An
object could not be found."

Going to the folder view for All Task Items if i selectTo-DoList,
i
get
the message: "Cannot display the folder." However, if in the same
folder
view for All Task Items, i selectTasks, i am able to see all my
tasks.

I have gone to Personal Folders, and in its properties, i have
selected
Display Reminders andTasksfrom this Folder in theTo-DoBar.

So, even though i'm doing everything recommended in the knowledge
base,
i
still have the problem.

Hi, Bill,

Thanks for all your help, Bill & others on the group.

Here is a caveat for those who want to use the method of creating a
new profile to fix this problem: many of your customizations will be
lost and have to be re-created in the new profile. This cure may be
worse than the problem.

For example, to attempt to fix this problem as recommended, I created
a new profile and then imported my old pst file. This process took 5
hours (pst file is over 3G for me), during which time, my email &
calendar were unavailable to me. Once the import had finished, I
found that my extensive list of categories (over 50, with 14 color
schemes matrixed across the 50 categories), which i assign to all my
contacts and calendar items, had not been imported. I didn't look to
see if my email rules (17) had been imported; I do know that my email
accounts/addresses (24) had not been imported.

Considering the hours it had taken me to customize Outlook, I decided
to abandon the 5+ hours of effort and the n hours of diagnosis already
spent on this current problem and just live with the problem of no
Tasks in the To-Do bar. As a business person, I can't afford to spend
2+ business days of non-productivity diagnosing problems with
productivity tools. This is only my experience and my requirements;
yours may vary. I just want to say to be wary of diagnostic processes
that take many hours and/or work-arounds that require much re-do of
your preferences.

Sigh...

Thanks,

Michelle
