Outlook loses focus

[Guest]

When I switch back and forth between inbox and contacts,
the 2002 outlook loses focus. I have to press the F6 key
for it to highlight an entry. This never happened on any
other version of outlook I used.

Regards,
Joe

Seems if you run Outlook (mine is 2002) with Outlook Today
as your startup folder, it will cause this problem!

It's a bug that was introduced with Outlook 2002 and it happens after using
Outlook Today, it doesn't matter if it's the startup folder and it affects
all folders. The solution is F6 to restore focus.

This has been an ongoing issue since it was released. There have been
service packs and none have fixed this annoyiong bug. Do you think
this will ever be repaired? Also, does the latest version of Outlook
exhibit the same behavior. Please advise.
