Outlook 2003? Due to numerous complaints, they made Outlook open new windows for links in email, regardless of the settings in IE.

Diane,

Thank you for your response. I did have the "Re-use" checkbox set in the browser but to no-avail when launching a link in my 2003 Outlook emails. After having become so frustrated over this issue and researching the web with no luck, I decided this forum would be the best place to find an answer -- and you provided it.

But, you're sure, no way to overcome this in Outlook 2003?

Thanks again,
Don

At this time, no, there is no way to change it. I don't expect it's going to change in SP2 (later this year) either.
