Well...*I* found Outlook Today very useful. Outlook would open and I could quickly get a quick view of anything important I needed to deal with right away...like prepare for a morning meeting, etc. Helped me keep on track versus getting lost in a ton of email, etc. As for the reason it doesn't work, it's because it DID work...but with one of those cumulative IE patches, it blocks a security hole that also allowed you to customize it. You can work around it with a quick reghack...but you need to make sure you then remove the hack after you do the customization to keep the security issue filled. It was obviously fixed in the next version...but apparently was recently trashed in that version due to the patch. No big issue...they don't need to customize it and I have 2003, so I'm set! ;-) Dian D.

Can't wait to hear if you hear why that doesn't work...it seems kinda stupid to have it there if it doesn't do anything, eh? LOL Linda F.
