Here's the link to my article in Dian's ezine that tells how to set the out of office autoresponder without exchange...but PLEASE, if you do this, go to this group's website first and put yourself on vacation so the autoresponder does not come here :-) Here's the instructions: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=127 Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Anne Robson Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 12:45 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Outlook Thanks Linda and Dian - I have done all the things you suggest in tools options etc etc - still happening. My version is Outlook 2002 Office XP Pro with FrontPage. Checking for patches will have to wait till Monday as I am out of the office for the next 2 days taking my daughter to uni for freshers week so will miss all the cheery banter! If only I could remember how to set "out of office" when not using an exchange server ... *scratches head and ambles off home*. Apols for not deleting previous message - thought I had done so. Have a nice weekend everybody - and good luck with the insurance stuff Linda.
