Well, Peter, this is a fine state of affairs ! It really wasn't that long
ago that I downloaded WLM Beta. Unfortunately, I forgot where. The reason
I decided to go with WLM is because Outlook 2007 was driving me crazy....it
was always doing something to slow my computer down. I couldn't understand
why in the heck it couldn't just sit there...anyway, I let it go and went
with WLM.
I can't thank you enough for figuring out my problem !
