Hello All, I am using Outlook 2002 and have been having two separate problems that have eluded me. First, I have the spell check to ignore the original message text, but the spell checker always checks the original message anyway. For the most part, simply highlighting the text of my reply and running the spell check gets around the problem because when the dialog telling me that the check is done and would I like to resume at the beginning pops up, I say no and send the message. Second, I have recently begun to get a dialog that says a program is trying to access my address book and do I want to allow this. Of course I say no and then send my message. However, instead of having a box to check and tell the dialog not to appear again, the dialog has a allow for 5 minutes etc. should I foolishly opt to say yes to allow the access. If anyone has either of these issues or knows how to fix them, please let me know. Take care, John
