I have been using the Outlook Journal to record documents such as Word,
Excel and so on. I’ve been using the feature with my billing. Then I learned
that for Outlook 2007, the feature is disabled for documents opened from a
network, or a mapped network drive letter, or even from a local drive if you
open it by using a UNC path (such as \\mycomputer]share). Outlook will not
record the document at all. ( Ouch! That really messed me up!)

Please, someone tell my why this was done. The feature is effectively
useless for anyone that uses networks.

Surely there must be a fix for this?

Thanks,
 
Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the exact same problem
and I know there has to be an answer somewhere. Please let me know what you
find out. (e-mail address removed) Thank you!
 
Does anyone know, if this problem is addressed with microsoft? I think that this is a very serious issue. Any news at all?
Hope we get this issue solved...
