I'm using MS Office Pro 2007 with Outlook. My desire is to set a rule to
cause an automatic delivery receipt to be returned to me when the
recipient opens my email.

It's not possible for you to control the recipient's computer.

On a new mail page, I clicked on the options
tab and checked "request a delivery receipt for this message," and also
checked "have replies sent to [my email address.]

Replies will be send to your address anyway, if thta's the sending address you
defined in the "E-mail" field of the account. Don't define the "Reply-To"
address unless it differs from the sendong address.

However, no delivery receipts are being returned to me. Please note that I
do not want the
"read" receipt that requires the recipient to allow it; I just want the
non-participating delivery receipt automatically returned to me when the
recipient opens my email.

Can't be done. The recipient always can disallow returning receipts.
