extend.dat

[Roady [MVP]]

Sounds like a corrupt extend.dat isn't your issue then

1.. Try running scanpst.exe on your Personal Folder. By default
scanpst.exe can be found here;
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\<locale ID>

2.. Try renaming outcmd.dat to .old and restart Outlook. All the Toolbars
will reset then. This is quite a common problem with Outlook . The default
location for this file is:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

3.. Try recreating the profile in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show
Profiles...

4.. Try running Outlook with the /safe switch from your Start-> Run
window. The command line should look like this (check your path to
Outlook.exe);
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /safe
When this works run Help-> Detect and Repair

5.. Start in safe mode again and disable individual add-ons in Tools->
Options-> tab Other-> button Advanced E-mail Options...-> button Add-In
Manager.../COM Add-ins...

I have Outlook 2000

When I try to receive mail Outlook closes. I have found [extend.dat] (both
hidden and unhidden) and renamed them .dat to .old. When I open Outlook and
receive mail it closes again and once again the blasted extend.dat file
shows up???

So far, I have renamed extend.dat to extend?.old seven times.

I need Outlook!!

Please help.

I believe the problem is solved. Seems that the outcmd.dat file was the
culprit.

That one is a bit more likely to get corrupted indeed or actually :-(
