Rules Wizard Not Consistent

[Larry]

Rules Wizard is not running consistently in my Outlook
2000 (running Win XP Pro).

Sometimes it does filter, sometimes not. Lately, mostly
not.

But, if I go into the Rules Wizard, and select a rule to
run, then click Run Now, then it works. But this manual
work around is not the best way to do this. Any ideas why
it's not running automatically consistently?

Thanks in advance.

I found I needed to add the action "Stop processing more
rules" in the "What do you want to do" picklist. Be real
sure to have this for your exception lists and put them at
the top of your rules.

Hello - thanks for your help.

What does the Stop Processing Action do? And do you add
it to each rule, or just as an exception rule? Not quite
getting it...

But I'll research it more until I hear back from you.
Thank you.
