Hi -
This isn't giving us much to work with. When you post in here, always
include your version, SP level, and mode (if applicable) of Outlook - you
can find this information in Help | About. Also include the type of mail
account(s) you use and any other pertinent details. Be sure to put a
consise
summary of your question in the subject line, and the full details in the
body of your post.
