Thanks Lanwench... That is a funny name.

I have played with this some. It does work for what I am trying to do.
That is good. It just changes the whole look and feel of Outlook to me. No
big deal tho.

Did you say that this functionality of only in Outlook 2003? Or is it in
Outlook 2000 as well? I know it will not look the same in 2000 but I don't
care about that.

Thanks,
Robbie
