How do I stop the send/receive progress dialog box showing?

[Guest]

Just upgraded to XP Media Edition with Office 2003. Getting a bit peeved at
the send/receive notification dialog box popping up every 10 mins to show me
that the task has completed. How do I stop it popping up every time, never
did in Office 2000!

Check the box that says "Don't show this dialog box during Send/Receive". If
it's too quick to grab, disconnect from the internet before clicking
Send/Receive - that should slow it down enough.....

Thanks Paul but I did that before I wrote my query. Problem is that the
progress box pops up every time to tell me all's well! Interrupts my
screensaver, gets in the way of whatever I'm working on and just generally
winds me up as not being necessary.

Any further suggestions most welcome.

Shucks. I wasn't trying to teach you how to suck eggs, incidentally - it
just occurred to me that if you're on broadband the dialogue box might be
there for too short a time to see the check-box...

I've been looking for that option elsewhere in the program - Tools, Options,
etc - but can't find it. I hope someone does!

Hey, I know you were just being helpful! I've looked everywhere but can't find any way to stop the blasted thingy popping up to tell me it's done it's job successfully. I don't care, I can go look if I think there's a failure. Anyone? Please, it's winding me up so much I've had to set it to every 30 mins.

Has anyone else got any suggestions for this problem please?
