Just reinstalled Outlook 2002 [as part of a complete system rebuild -- XP
Pro and all programs]. In my old system I had set Outlook to default to
open to the Inbox. I forgot how I did it, and cannot find the setting.
Searching through the help file has not [yet] yielded the answer I am
looking for. How do I get Outlook to open to the inbox, by default?

TIA

Milly,

Thank you, thank you.

I went to that page a number of times, and always stared at the check
boxes -- and always managed to miss what was staring me in the face.
Hmmmm. I think many hours of formatting, installing, downloading,
searching for files, patches, tweaking, checking the web, etc......... may
have fried my brain.

At least that's how I'll tell the story.

Thanks again.
