What do you mean you are barred from posting, Ess? Your posts are coming thru just fine. Yeah, I would have to say I would suggest you upgrade to 2000 or 2002. 97 is really out of date anymore and Microsoft isn't going to be supplying any fixes for it's problems anymore. Since 2002 is now on the market, I assume you could find 2000 for a decent price. Or, if you can't, I would recommend you try Outlook Express instead of Outlook 97...that's a free part of Internet Explorer and even that is better than Outlook 97, I'm sorry to say. I'm off to work now....see y'all later!!

So even with the Rich Text disabled, I'm barred from posting. I've got at least three more weeks to work this out (my AOL service expires next month). So I guess it's time to upgrade to Office 2000 --?? Sorry for the annoying attachments; certainly wasn't intending to send them.
