Jim:
Thanks for the input on my issue. I have used the "full version" of Outlook
before & learned that its functionality is far more than I want to use. I
have several business-specific operation systems that provide the calendar,
scheduling, client contact tracking & project management functions that have
their own internal relational dependencies. Can I use Outlook for my
"networked" email & disable the other functionality?
