Peter,
Um...I'm not sure what you mean. What subject line? Where?
Did you read my whole message?:
I've tried all the different ways of customizing views and defining views,
but none of these will stay the way I change them.
I know this is a basic Outlook configuration, but my problem is that the
configurator isn't working.

I'm honestly not your usual ignorant computer user. I know my way around a
computer and MS Office. I do not see the 'From Subject Received' words
anywhere when Outlook 2007 is open.

Again, I need to repeat this because I'm not sure you're with me he
I have used the 'customize views' and the 'Define Views' and MY Outlook 2007
will not accept the changes I'm making there.
I know how to use the fields and the grouping and the sorting etc., etc.,
etc.
I know the different places I can customize the view.
I know how to customize the view.
I just want my customizations to work!!!
I'm not trying to do anything fancy. I just want my Inbox to be 'Arranged
By: Date' and stay that way - expanded.
It goes to 'collapsed' and 'Arranged By: From' everytime I move away from my
Inbox folder.
I check on a date - go back...collapsed and arranged by from.
I go to Define View, change the way it groups and it goes back to collapsed
and arranged by from.
Same with Customize View.
Same with 'View/Arrange by:/Customize.

Right now Customize/Define view is configured: Groups - none, Sort -
Received...but my Inbox does 'collapsed' and 'Arranged By: From'.
That's what I mean about my configurator not working. I guess I don't need
to know how to do it, but how to fix it .

You may have a corrupt view and need to reset the views using /cleanviews,
especially if you customized the Messages view.

This is interesting: On my home computer I reset the view with no problem.
On my work computer (that I'm having the problem with) the 'Reset View'
button is grayed out.
Is this significant?

it either means the admin disabled it or they view you are using wasn't
customized. Look on the view menu - what view are you using?

Yay! I don't know what happened, but I somehow got the 'reset' button to
ungray(I think it had to do with uncustomized view?), pressed it, went back
and made sure things were customized properly for the view I wanted
and...It's fixed!!! Thanks to all who hung in there with me and gave me
solutions.!!!
I'm back to being productive!
