"I'm so glad someone finally did this! Stephen"

Listen up bub - if you are the programmer of this add-in... and I WILL find out if you are... then you have no business trying the "ooh, guess what I found that really works!" ploy here. Just ask around.

If you have an add-in that you want to advertise, then put an ADV in front of your post, tell folks that you work for the company that made the add-in and then extol its virtues. No one here objects to that and many find some of the items advertised quite useful.

However, if you are indeed the programmer or work for the company that programmed this add-in, then you should be ashamed of yourself for all of this false self-promotion. You do yourself and all honest add-in developers a great disservice by lying about what you "found" (on your own hard drive, or a company server). You didn't "find" anything except a way to promote your product with lies and obfuscation.

Not a good way to start out I might add.

Now for the disclaimer - I don't work for Microsoft, nor any software company, the opinions expressed are my own and if I made a mistake in my assessment based on your IP and the company's HQ, then I apologize.

If I am correct however, I would expect at least an apology to the users of this forum and an honest post that can regale us with the wonders and usefulness heretofore unseen that your add-in will add to Outlook, and an acknowledgement that you are, or work for, the producers of this software. That does a lot to ameliorate what you tried here tonight.

Dishonesty and disingenuousness are a bad way to start off a business trying to sell something to people - it makes you look suspicious and your software less worthy.

Now, can I have a free license? (gd&rvvf!)

| at ArchiveAssist for Outlook. This app lets you edit the Modified
| Date of messages to any date you want (you can select the Received
| Date, the Sent Date, or you can specify any date), and you have
| complete control over the process by which you decide which messages
| to include for modification. The program also lets you to delete
| messages, in bulk, according to the date parameters you set in one
| easy step - a great change from the ten step process I used to go
| through in Outlook.
|
| The program runs outside of Outlook, which I like, and it says that
| it works with all versions from 97 up. Check it out at
| http://www.cardiffsoft.com
|
| There's a free 30-day trial version available and the app costs only
| $19.00 to purchase. I was finally able to cut the size of my .pst
| file, which was in excess of 1GB, and things are running more
| smoothly. No freezes since I archived...
