I'm not sure I understand your response. My wife posted this issue. It is
my desktop computer, running Outlook 2003 that is working correctly. Her
laptop (and a co-worker) is having the problem. But now that you mentioned
the PST file, it brings up a point. I know I have a PST file. I don't know
if she does.

If she is configured differently and does NOT have a PST file, will hers
work the same?

A search folder can only search in the mail store it's in. It cannot
search
across mail stores (PST files).

I tried this, but it is still set up the same way. My "Search Folder" is
a
subset of my "Personal Folders" so it will only search folders in my
"Personal Folders" which does not include my "Inbox".

You either have a PST file or an Exchange mailbox. Both would work the same,
neither can search across mail stores. A search folder in an Exchange
mailbox can only search in that mailbox. In a PST a search folder can only
search in that PST.

I check her laptop to see how it was configured.
She does use the PST as oppose to the Exchange Server.
We are still at a lost as to why her laptop (and co-worker) cannot flag a
follow-up as I can do on my desktop computer.

Again, are these items with flags in the same PST file as the search folder?

Are you definitely referring to flagged items and not just items with
reminders set on them?

Are these mail items? Outlook search folders (unless created by code) can
only work with mail items.
