We have a shared calendar in a Public Folder and this works fine for people to see what is going on. However, when trying to make a Meeting Request, a message comes up telling the organiser that "responses to this meeting request will not be tallied because this meeting is not in your main...

This is a silly thing, but rather annoying. I have set Word (Word 97 SR-2) to have the toolbars displayed as I like them. This works fine if I open Word, then open a document. However, if I open a document, by double clicking in Explorer or from the Documents menu, the default toolbar seem to...

Hi tvale I would use Partition Magic. Use the boot floppy to go into PM at boot time. Copy the partition from the old 2Gb drive onto the new drive, then resize the partition. Works with NTFS partitions no problem, I've done this several times when upgrading Hard Discs. HTH

I think the link given by Volture is a dead one - that's why you get taken to the Technet "file not found" page. Here is a link that was good today (8 May 2002) to the same or a similar article. Hope this helps someone:-...

Hi cadbilbao It will be difficult to get two Win 98 machines to talk to each other, because one of them (the "answering" computer) will have to act as a Remote Access Server (RAS) device. This functionality is not (to the best of my understanding) in Win 9x. It is there with Win NT...

Well, the only way I got this to work, in the days before we had Exchange Server, was to have a batch file that copied a central .PAB to a local folder. This gave a sort of Global Address List facility. However, it wouldn't work as a proper shared address book, since the users couldn't add...

I don't know if this will help, but it's a way around your problem. Set up a POP3 server on the machine, with a separate mailbox for each user. I have used VPOP3 (see www.pscs.co.uk) with success, and it is very reasonably priced. VPOP3 then connects to Demon and collects all your emails -...

There is something that can happen with Win95 (I don't know if it applies to 98SE) that the system gets stuck into using real mode drivers after a problem. There is a NOIDE entry made in the registry which makes it always use real mode drivers, and not try to initialise the proper drivers. The...

Well, I can't see the problem myself. We do exactly as you want to, using Exchange 5.5 and OL98/OL2K clients. It works very well, and laptop users can have easily updated access to the folders, using offline folders. This beats any file sharing scheme into a cocked hat. What are your...

Essentially that's it. To give a little more detail, go to the IMS connector properties/routing/routing restrictions. Then set the "Hosts and Clients with these IP addresses" to cover your users. If you have a simple LAN system, then setting the 192.168.0.0 with a 255.255.0.0 mask...

Don't forget that you can also set up individual folders' to autoarchive in different ways. Right-click on the folder and go to "Properties". This way you can set folders that have relatively low importance to auto-archive agressively, and have other folder keep important messages...

Well, that's still not a lot of information. Is your lady using Dial-up, or Exchange, or what? Mapisp32 is the MAPI client (Mail(Messaging?) Application Program Interface), and runs as part of Outlook, to transfer emails between Outlook and the mail server. SOmething is causing it to stop...

The problem may be that there is a limit on message size imposed somewhere. It may be in your Outlook, or on the email server, or at the ISP. If you are using MS Exchange, then the Exchange Administrator can impose a message size limit. If you are using a local email server (in your...

No .PSTs are just for Outlook. They are a single compressed file holding all the items from every folder. Outlook Express uses (as noted above) a collection of .DBX files (INBOX.DBX, etc.) Since you say the .DBX files are virtually empty, and the .PST is 400M I should say you user is being...

My experience is that you cannot remove OE, as such (i.e. make it go away completely). On Win95/98 there is the option to remove it in "Add/Remove Programs" but parts of it appear to be common to Outlook 2000, so removing it will cripple Outlook. If you aren't using Outlook then you...

Is there any way to make Outlook 98 / 2000 work as a "proper" email client - i.e. put "Fred said..." at the top of the message, then mark the old text with >, and the signature at the bottom? There doesn't seem to be a way to make it do other than the "Microsoft...

This is Outlook Express 5, right? Inbox.dbx suggests it is OE. Try creating a new "Identity", then import the folders from the old database. Do File>Import then choose the option not to import from an identity but from the file, then browse to your Inbox.dbx file. I don't know...

An option for a full email server that is cheaper and simpler than MS Exchange is VPOP3. Check it out at www.pscs.co.uk We have used this program with great success and I can recommend it for a small-medium sized organisation. HTH

For a local email server, I would recommend VPOP3 (www.pscs.co.uk) for a very reasonably priced product that is highly capable and easy to set up. You need to understand though, that an email server will not allow you to do "all the other Outlook stuff". Things like calendars and...
