I'm using Office 2003 on my home PC, Office 2000 at work. If I send a link
form my work computer to my home, Outlook deletes the link and leaves me with
a blank message. It will also delete links and entire messages sporadically
from other received messages. Is there a setting I need to change?

The Outlook at your work shouldn't be removing anything, but you should be
being notified that you're attempting to send a potentially hazardous
attachment. Are you?

It will also delete links and entire
messages sporadically from other received messages. Is there a
setting I need to change?

Can you typify the messages from which data is removed? Outlook does not do
such things by accident ot randomly.

As Brian suggests, .lnk files are considered dangerous files by Microsoft because they can be used to dupe people into going to web sites that will perform malicious acts on your computer. Instead, copy the URL as text into your message.

Also, a registry entry lets you customize the list of blocked files in Outlook 2003. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ese...exe.htm#ol2002 for links to info and tools.
