Sig file "could not be located."

[Michael Krantz]

I created a new sig file (actually to get rid of Active-X controls), and I
selected this sig for both new messages and for replies and forwards.

When I create a new message, it works fine; but when I reply to a message, I
get an error that the named sig could not be located, and it gets removed
from my "Signature for new messages" setting. (That gets switched to
"<None>", but my "Signature for replies and forwards" setting is unchanged).

I have tried both renaming and copying the sig file to other named files and
switching both settings to the new file name, and I get the same results
with the new-named sig.

This error has now shown itself to be intermittent. Sometimes I can compose
a reply and the signature get included with no problem, but the error
described below keeps showing up again.

Please, can anyone suggest what may be happening and how it might be fixed?

Thanks in advance for help.

Best regards,
mike K

Are you using Outlook 2003? Have you set a default signature for each of
your accounts?

No, just for the account that I use.

No, just for the account that I use.

If you want the per-account autosignature to work, each account must have a
default signature, even if it's only a space character.
