Thanks Linda, Did detect and repair function seems to have done the trick with the control-c problem. Two more questions for you both concerning Outlook 2002 Firstly is there any way of using in a standalone situation the journal function as a diary of when tests were completed? I know it will record phone calls and files used but I can't seem to get it to record when tasks were completed. Second question, is there any way of linking tasks? On the bottom of a task window there are boxes for assigning of a category and also for linking the task with contacts it would be nice to be able to link two tasks in the same way? -----Original Message----- From: Lilies In Bloom [mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, 22 September 2002 5:22 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Message when I use control-c in Outlook Hi all, When I use control-c in Outlook( using word as the editor) in order to paste something when I am answering a reply to a message I get a box that says "Microsoft Word - An outgoing call cannot be made ---since an incoming synchronous call is being made" Any ideas why?
