Sorry, yes I'm using Outlook 2007.
One point I have jsut thought about is that I think OL2007 provides
for a new PST file format, but still supports the older pst format. I
suspect my PST files are still the older format, so I will make new
pst files and test with a new profile using the new pst files to make
sure its not that.
Cheers
Grant
