Hello Newsgroup,

I am attempting to create a new group and shortcuts for
the project folders I frequently access.

This used to work just fine.

Now, when I create a new group, no problem. Then, I create
a shortcut to a folder, again no problem.

Then, when I click on any of these new shortcuts .... the
program crashes with the following message appears:

___________________________________________________________
OUTLOOK.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being generated.
___________________________________________________________


I have tried repairing the program, reloading the program
without success.

I have scanned thru FAQ's and could not find this problem
listed.

Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Regards,



Phil
 
What do you mean by new group?
Outlook does not use groups, so I don't know what you mean.
