Thank you.
Yes, detect and repair. I have just done a repair installation from the
disk and that hasn't worked either.
I searched for the scanpst.exe file and ran it with what i think is my
outlook data file and it came up with no problems.
Could someone tell me the best way to do a re-install rather than a repair
install from the disk - should I uninstall office first and start from
scratch or do l just put in the disk and opt for the re-install?
Many Thanks

When you say repair, do you mean detect and repair? Have you tried running scanpst.exe against your Outlook data file?
