I have one for you. My Outlook and Access occasionally
flake out together on our XPpro sysytem. Sometimes my
memo fields lock up. I then have to close down Access and
it doesn't completely close down and I have to re-boot.
When I try to log off, I close down Outlook. It looks
like it's shut down. Then i shut down and it says outlook
is still open, do I want to shut down, AND IT WON'T!
