Toolbar Customization not being saved.

[Guest]

Hi,
I am using outlook 2003. I am facing a starange problem. If i add some
toolbar say advanced or web and then make some changes to suite my needs like
location of the added toolbar or removal or addition of buttons. it works
fine but the changes are not being saved. If i close and then reopen outlook
new added toolbars remains there but the changes i made to toolbar like
moving or button addition or deletion gets lost. I have also reinstalled the
ofice.

Same fuction is working fine on another PC.
What could be the reason...

Thanks...Vineet

Reset the Toolbar; all Toolbar customizations will be lost and the Toolbar
will reset to what it looked like when you first installed Outlook. To do
this locate outcmd.dat and rename it to outcmd.old when Outlook is closed.
By default you can find it here;
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

This doesn't answer the actual question! How do we save the customizations
that we create within the Outlook toolbars without them being lost each time
the program is closed???
Thank you... JonCLP

Veneet, Did you ever get a real answer to your question? I am having the
same problem, but the answer posted doesn't seem to address the challenge
that we are both facing. Please advise if you are still around, thanks.

It does answer the question. Your toolbar configuration is corrupted and
therefore needs a reset. The answer explains how to do that.

I'm having the exact same problem as you. But the answers you got here
doesn't help me. I have tried to remove Adobes toolbar but I have the same
problem. The toolbar that doesnt want to stay where I put it is
"email"-toolbar (with save, print and so on). I have Word2003 as email editor.
