AskWoody_MVPPLEASE forgive me for being so hesitant with this, but I only want to avoid getting into an avoidable situation that creates a problem I cannot get myself out of.
The way to keep yourself out of trouble is to use an image backup program like Acronis True Image 2011 Home.
If you’re leery about an install just image your hard drive first then if things go awry just restore the image and all is well. -

AskWoody_MVPAdam,
To get your single click type Folder Options into the search bar then hit enter {see graphic below}.
To remember the display options for each folder go into the View tab and reset to defaults. Then when you set up a folder it should remember the settings. -

AskWoody_MVPI just tried this on my Windows 7 64 Bit Laptop Outlook 2007 machine and it worked here are my steps:
1. Click on an email in my inbox to select w/o opening.
2. Press Ctrl+c
3. Open Windows Explorer via icon on Task Bar.
4. Opened the Transfer directory under the Documents Library.
5. Clicked in the right hand {contents pane}
6. Press Ctrl+vThe email shows up as type Outlook Item see picture.
Addendum: I just tried this on my desktop with Win 7 64 Bit & Outlook 2003 and it also worked. However, the first time it failed because I have outlook configured to allow me to edit the subjects. If the edit cursor is in the subject line it would not copy!

3. Select the Properties tab.
4. Uncheck the Print Object checkbox.

Sorry, but this didn’t turn up what I was hoping to see. Unfortunately, I’m out of ideas for what to do w/o being able to work on your machine.
Good Luck.

AskWoody_MVPChuck,
You left out the astericks {*} they are very important.
The ChucksFiles was the a file the results would have been sent to so you wouldn’t have to capture the screen. Please try it again per instructions. -

AskWoody_MVPChuck,
Give this a try:
Open a Command window {Click the Orb & type: cmd into the search box and hit ENTER.
When the Command window opens type this: Dir C:Chuck*.* /s
Press EnterIf it does then enter this: Dir C:Chuck*.* /s >ChucksFiles.dat
This will create the file C:UsersuseridChucksFiles.dat {where userid is you user account name}
Post back attaching this file.

AskWoody_MVPChuck,
When you run the installer choose custom install or it’s equivalent. Then you’ll be able to specify the directory you want to use. This may not answer your question but should allow you to install the program.
Good Luck!

AskWoody_MVPPaul,
Just how fast are you getting to that shutdown button? Sometimes the exiting process continues after the user interface {window} closes, especially with Outlook with large pst files. So if you’re hitting the Big Red X and then immediately going to the shutdown, the process may not have completely closed when shutdown goes to see if anything is open, if you wait a few seconds {preferable to forcing shutdown} the message will probably go away on it’s own.

AskWoody_MVPPaul,
They’re not all that special it’s things like &[Date] for the current date and &[Page] for the current page number, etc.
When you go int the custom header and select the icons for Date, Page, Time, etc you’ll see these codes appear. -

AskWoody_MVPSteven,
The “Start Up” menu just provides links to SOME programs that start when your machine is turned on. If you want to see all the programs and processes that are automatically started download the free autoruns program from Microsoft.

AskWoody_MVPJohn,
Right you are! I forgot the table with the status titles, Answer was a number to hold the key of status titles table so you’re not storing all that text, although you could store the status titles if you want.

AskWoody_MVPHow about:
Table Tasks
Key field = TaskNo
Identifying fields – how ever many you need of any type:
e.g. Assigned to: Text – Due Date: Date – Budget: Currency, etc.Table Questions
Key field = Question No: Integer {Byte?}
Question Text: Test {Memo}Table Answers
Key Field = AnsNo: Number
Foreign Key = Tasks!TaskNo
Foreign Key = Questions!Question No
Answer Field = Answer: Integer {Byte}This structure (with modifications as necessary) would let you set up master/sub forms to gather the information. The sub form could be generated in code to display the questions and current answers.
This is just a quick stab, let the carnage begin.
