I have a 2002 version of Outlook which I have been trying to install
but again it would seem that it is Outlook EXPRESS that I should be
installing! Another misunderstanding due to me thinking the two programs
are just different versions with Outlook itself being an extension of
Outlook Express. It now boils down to the fact that I need to remove the
latest version of Outlook Express in order to replace it with the older
version. Sorry about the misunderstanding, I think I now know the
differences.
Thanks again for your help, I now need to locate a standalone copy of
Outlook Express!

Well, thanks for all the information! I'll try to get things right
this time.
Looking at my organiser specification, it says I need Outlook
98,2000,2002,or 2003 to be able to synchronise. From what I read from
your replies it seems that I need not have uninstalled the Office 2007
Home and Student Edition, if I had known that neither Outlook Express
nor Outlook were installed by the program.
I am currently left with Outlook Express to uninstall so that I can
install one of the above versions, as I mentioned, it is not
sufficient to remove Outlook by the "Add or Remove Windows Components".
Grateful for any help...

Outlook Express being installed should *not* prevent you from installing
any version of Outlook.

What is happening when you try to install Outlook and what version are
you trying to install?
