I use a customized Outllook toolbar in OL2000. I frequently disappears and
reverts to the standard toolbar with my customizations gone. Any idea why
this happens or how to fix it?

thanks

Try renaming your outcmd.dat file to outcmd.old while Outlook is closed.
Outlook will rebuild the default toolbars the next time you open it. If your
changes to the toolbars "stick" after doing this, then you know it was the
outcmd.dat file causing the problem. Make sure to make a backup of the new
outcmd.dat file so you can restore it if you ever run into the same problem
again.

Note: If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to search in hidden
and system folders to find the outcmd.dat file.

that seems to have taken care of it. No loss of toolbars in a couple of days
now. Thanks much
