Try Shift-Control-I. It will usually move you from that pesky Outlook Today directly to your Inbox.''Hope this helps. Take care...

Boge-Conyers Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 10:31 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Getting started with Outlook Hi listers, I'm using JFW5.10.350 with XP SP 2 and I am trying to use my newly-installed MS Outlook 2000. When I open the program, I am presented with a screen which looks like this: Outlook Today Friday, September 24, 2004 Customize Outlook Today ... alt+u Calendar Tasks Messages Table with 2 columns and 3 rows Inbox 0 Drafts 1 Outbox 0 table end The calendar, in box, etc. are presented as links. But, when I enter on a link, I am completely thrown out of Outlook, and there is no focus on any program. Outlook still resides on the task bar, but when I try to return to it, either by hitting enter on Outlook in the task bar or by Alt Tabbing through the applications, I can't get back to it. I end up going into the Windows Task Manager and deleting it and starting it again. Sorry this is so long, and I apologize if this has been covered recently. You know how it goes...you don't pay attention because it doesn't mean anything to you. that is, of course, until you have the same problem...<smile> Thanks for any and all assistance, Norma -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
