Most of our users are on Outlook 2003. We are slowly giving users Outlook 2007. When an Outlook 2007 user sends a link to a .doc on a network drive to a Outlook 2003 user, the link turns into plain text. The email is sent in Rich Text. What is sent with ol2007, shows as a completely normal hyperlink: I:\Department\Group\Year\Whatever.doc What is received on ol2003, not underlined, not clickable, not blue: <I:\Department\Group\Year\Whatever.doc> We also tested sending a link as a HTML message, HTML works normal. On my blackberry, the link is fine. Outlook 2003 is SP3, Outlook 2007, two users on SP1 and SP2. Has anyone seen this issue, or have any ideas on what I could search for?

- 1. new message in Outlook 2003
Using Outlook 2003 and XP SP1. How do I modify the bar immediately above the To... section in the New message window? It has Send, attachment, address book, etc, but I can't modify what's in it.

I have 1298 contacts and all the number need (0) removing from them can anyone tell me how i can do this without doing it by openning up every contact one at a time to change it - 3. Outlook 2003 Frequently "Quits"
The past couple months I've had this problem with Outlook 2003 (SP2) simply quitting very often. I have not been able to see what event is triggering this misbehavior. From the event viewer of the error, the "Source" is Microsoft Office 11, the event ID is 1000, and here is the description: Faulting application outlook.exe, version 11.0.6565.0, stamp 42cacc7d, faulting module outlph.dll, version 11.0.6550.0, stamp 4239dfdc, debug? 0, fault address 0x00008206. I am running XP Pro, Version 2002, SP2. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Doug

Do the 2007 users hit <Return> after putting the link in?

I just had them try again, first with just a Return, and then with a space after the link plus a Return. Neither worked, still no link.

Try specifying it with <...> around it; i.e., <I:\Department\Group\Year\Whatever.doc> If that doesn't work, expand the I drive and use a UNC. <\\Server\share\Department\Group\Year\Whatever.doc> Put <...> around it if it includes spaces. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Just tested both. Just the < >'s around the "I:\...\...\.doc" did not work. The < >'s around the \\server\share\doc worked. (there are spaces in the folder names) Unfortunately using \\server\share links won't be ideal for our end users. Switching the email type to HTML will probably be the solution. Thank you for your help. If you come up with any other troubleshooting steps or solutions, I'll be happy to try them out.

1.OL2007: editing email in Outbook before sending breaks the email
I have Outlook set to *not* send immediately - I do a send/receive all when I'm ready. In OL2003, I could open an unsent email in the Outbox, edit it, then click "Send" and it would automatically go back to the send queue (and be sent went I hit F9 "Send & Receive All"). In OL2007, if I open an unsent email, the email never gets sent, unless I manually move it to the Drafts folder, then open it, click send, then open it again, and click send again. (It always takes two "sends" to move the edited email from the Drafts folder back to the Outbox). Is there any way to get OL2007 to behave more intuitively (ie, more like OL2003)? Thanks
2.Send via email links not working OL2007
I have OL 2007 on 2 machines, one an XP Pro laptop and one a new Vista desktop. On both computers, I can no longer use the "send via email" links from other programs. When I used OL2003, these links would open a new OL message with an attachment filled in. Now they do nothing. Programs where this fails are IE7 (Vista and XP), Photo Gallery (Vista) and Adobe Acrobat (both). I have OL2007 checked as the default email client on both machines. I also am running the trial of OneCare (if that makes any difference--could't find it blocking anything). Thanks.
3.Broken URL links in Outlook 2003 sent email
When I send long URL Hyperlinks in an email they often don't work when the recipient clicks on them. I realize that this has someting to do with the way outlook wraps the text (70-80 characters) and breaks the link onto 2 or 3 lines but how can I prevent this?
4.Outlook Anywhere not working with OL2007 but is with OL2003
As the title says PC's with Outlook 2003 can connect but any PC with OL 2007 is getting: "Outlook cannot login. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action" The server is a long way away (about 20-23 hops) so I added the registry entries to increase the RPC timeout but it just takes longer to fail now.. The settings I put in are identical between the working (OL2003)and non-working PC's(OL2007). A workaround I have found is too configure using OL2003 then upgrade to 2007 and it continues to work but this is not really practical for production only for me testing.... Any ideas would be appreciated. cheers
