Hi Len,
Thank-you for your feedback! I've been considering testing as to
whether I could substitute the 2007 Outlook.pst over to the 2002 Outlook.pst
by copying and pasting the one on top of the other, however I felt that it
might not take. Now, what your telling me brings hope. I'll give it a try!
I've been out-of-town on business, but now that I've returned I will continue
my attack on this issue. I'm exceedingly disappointed that I continually
have to discover solutions to vexing issues that should be as simple as a
mouse click. Thanks-again! Dave
