Permission Tab missing from Inbox, Calendar etc.

[Guest]

Hello,

When attempting to view the properties for a user's Inbox or any
folder/subfolder in their mailbox the permissions tab is missing (this is
occuring while I'm logged on his workstation as the user). Yet when I open
outlook on another workstation logged in as administrator and add the user's
mailbox to the outlook profile I can see the permissions tab. I checked
permissions on the Exchange server and I even added his account as owner to
his mailbox but the issued persisted.

Enviroment:
Windows 2000 Small Buiness Enterprise server SP4
Windows 2000 Pro SP4 with Outlook 2002

Any ideas?

Thxs

In tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options | Add-in Manager, make sure
both the Out*.ecf add-ins have been installed.

I have the same issue. Tried this and it didn't work. In fact I went ahead
and re-installed every single one of my Add-ins, to no avail.

Try deleting the Extend.dat file on the problem machine, then restart
Outlook. Outlook will automatically recreate it.

Are the same add-ins present in the add-in manager on both machiens. Have
you run Help | Detect and Repair?

Well, I tried logging in as the user from my machine which has a permissions
tab. When I log in as her on my machine, still no permissions tab. It must be
something with her account that I'm just not seeing.

Quite a drastic method but you could find out if it's a (corrupt) setting by
exporting;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook

Once exported, delete it and start Outlook. It will rebuild its registry
keys. If it's still not working import the key again to restore settings.

I am getting the error message after deleting the extend.dat file and
restarting outlook..."permissions denied, unable to access this folder within
C: Documents.../Microsoft/Outlook/backup.pst" this occurs when I am trying to
expand my personal folders list on outlook folder list....I have repaired all
the others and am finding the imported info there....
how can I also find out what each of those .ecf files represent and if any
of them need to be deleted/auto restored in outlook to alleviate such
permissions problems?
Still unable where to go to find out if all permissions are set correctly.....

Possible solution

I came across this thread looking for a solution for this issue myself.

This was on a Win XP PC with Office 2K, missing permissions tab from all mailbox folders (and also missing the delegate option within Outlook options). Logging in as the client on my PC, as well as logging onto their PC with my admin account, then having them log into Outlook as themselves both display permissions successfully.

I fixed it by deleting outcmd.dat (this file was 9KB which is twice the normal size for our environment), extend.dat, and their current OST. Repaired Outlook, and deleted all Outlook profiles/recreated the profile.

After this, re-loaded Outlook and it displays with no issues.

Hope this helps!

This is how I fixed missing Permissions Tab in Outlook 2003 Calendar properties problem:
Click Help button in Tool bar- About Microsoft Office Outlook -Disabled Items button- enabled items listed there ( in My case it was one of Outlook DLLs).
Restarted Outlook- all tabs are back.
