Unbelievable! I guess that's what Microsoft calls "progress". Back to
Outlook 2003 and £80 wasted.

It was removed from outlook 2007 - the open menu is for mailbox folders, not
oss files. You can make search folders for mail - unfortunately you can't
save searches for other item types.

I've just upgraded to Outlook 2007 (I know, silly me!) and it won't open,
save or even recognize Office Saved Search (.oss) files. The Advanced
Find
function (which is what uses these files) exists in O-2007 and contains
the
Open and Save options in the drop-down menu (so presumably the
functionality
is there somewhere?), but they are greyed out so they can't be used. I've
applied the regedit fix described in the Knowledge Base (although that is
only claimed to fix O-2000 and O-2003) but it doesn't make any difference.
(Actually, doesn't work on O-2002 either, but at least after applying the
fix, if you click on a .oss file it opens the search in Outlook OK; but
this
doesn't happen with O-2007.) Can't find anything about this problem under
Help or technical support for O-2007 (searches on "advanced find", .oss,
or
"saved search" come up with no relevant results). Anyone know how to
activate this functionality?
