There is no reason you should have been expected to connect your use of
Outlook Today to this problem. This is a bug, pure and simple, that
Microsoft has not seen fit to fix or even acknowledge.

Russ, thank you for the fast response, and correct as well. I did not even
connect the two things together, which I probably should have since it was
only recently that I started using the Outlook Today view, and recent
changes
are what I know should be considered first. And I even looked right at it
in
options while going through them to see if I could find something that
changed

Thank you again,

Dale.

Turn off the default "Outlook Today" view of your data file. It prevents
