It sounds like the field that holds the custom values isn't present on the recipients end.

Do you just need an inputbox ? That would ask for you to type something. strName = InputBox("Enter the name") Then you'll use strName in the code where the name goes.

Rules won't work for this. If you want the flagged marked automatically when you click the Reply button, you'll need to use an Item_Reply event macro. That is the extent of my programming knowledge, D. or someone else will need to tell you how to do it.

Did you copy the events into the Outlook.com calendar? They don't always sync up; sometimes they will if you edit them.

What version of Outlook do you use? If 2010 (maybe 2007 too) , select the WS addin in Addins and click the Addin options button. What is it set on?

On the second question, it shouldn't work like that. I'm not sure if its a focus thing or just that the enter key is not registering. It has happened to me too. Diane is on vacation this week and she (or someone else) will need to the other question.

Does it work if you use Safe mode? To start Outlook in Safe mode, close Outlook and hold Ctrl while you click the Outlook icon to reopen in Safe mode. You'll get a warning that you are using safe mode, so you know if it worked. Do you have web access to your account? If so, log into the web...

Outlook creates temp files for the pst files it opens and the temp won't be closed when it crashes so the temp files itself is not unusual. Are you sure that is the folder where the pst was stored?

You need to reset the view on the folder. Click or right-click on the field names above message list and choose Custom from the bottom, then Reset.

How many pst files are in your profile? I'm guessing one and the sync process either forced the new folders to be default or it moved the items from the default folder to the new folders. If you right click on the contacts that is not empty and choose Properties then Outlook Address Book, can...

I dont know about a quick fix, but you can fix them in a table view using in-cell editing (if you have a few) or by exporting from Outlook to Excel and using a formula to adjust the dates then import (if you have a lot). However, without knowing exactly why the Nokia changed the dates, its...

An isp is blocking 80 and 443? How do you surf the web with those ports blocked? Or do you mean you are running a server and the isp is blocking non-business subscribers from running server? Do you get any error messages when you try to delete messages?

It should be in all versions when Word is the editor. That is Autocomplete -you can disable it completely in 2010 in File, Options, Spelling & Autocorrect, Advanced - Show Autocomplete Suggestions. In 2003, open a new message, then Tools, Autocorrect, Autotext tab and turn off autotext. This...

oh, how i miss that toolbar for that exact reason.

I support users who apparently went to really bad schools (they couldn't figure out biweekly recurrences <sheesh>) and complicating the exceptions isn't something I'd look forward to but it is lacking in some areas. Recurring events are fragile and long term recurrences cause too many...
