FL310, tried it,but no joy. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
Corporate Yank, Now I'm scared as well as baffeled!. Maybe my solution is to just bin Outlook?
Voidhawk, will go to MS website to see if I can download OE5 later. I think that may be part of the problem though, as I thought I had downloaded it already along with IE5.
Will let you know how I get on in any case, and thanks for your assistance folks - Happy Christmas
