How do I set up an automated e-mail reply in Outlook 2000?

I am trying to set up an "out of office" automated e-mail reply in Outlook
2000 while I am gone for 2 weeks. I can't find a place to do that.

If you don't connect to an Exchange server, there is no automatic out of
office autoreply. You'd have to spoof it with rules, and note that this
means leaving Outlook open, and connected to the internet, for the duration
of your absence.

See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/index.htm for help.

Automatically reply to incoming messages while out of the
office

This feature requires you to be using a Microsoft Exchange
Server e-mail account. Most personal e-mail accounts
through an Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business
that provides access to the Internet for such things as
electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web.
Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many
locations, while others are limited to a specific region.)
are POP3 accounts and do not support this feature.

On the Tools menu, click Out of Office Assistant.
Note The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear
unless you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account.

Click I am currently Out of the Office.
In the AutoReply only once to each sender with the
following text box, type the message that you want to send
to others while you are out.
