'Work Offline' option not present
I use Outlook 2003 SP3 on Windows XP. For some reason I don't have the Work
Offline option in my File menu. I remember it was there in my earlier machine which had Windows 2000, but I'm sure this problem hasn't anything to do with the flavour of Windows. A friend of mine has the same problem here. Is something wrong with our installation, or is the fix simpler, like changing some configuration? Venkatesh |

'Work Offline' option not present
I believe it has something to do with whether or not you are configured to
work in "Cached Mode". If you are, you will have the option to select to "Work Offline". An offline folder (*.OST) may be disabled. If you use Cached Exchange Mode, a copy of the Exchange mailbox is stored on your computer in an .ost file. This copy permits you to work online or offline without interruption, and the data can be synchronized automatically or manually.

Hi Nikki,
Thanks for the quick reply. These helped me - both the tips and the links to the relevant MS sites. Sorry for the delay in replying.
