Does anyone know the reason for this fenomenen, we have recently upgraded
Outlook to v2003 and have several adressbooks, occasionally Outlook seem to
have lost most of them.....shutting down Outlook and starting it back up
again fixes it, but not for long. (we are also running the rest of office XP
and the exhange server is ver 5.5 sp4)

Another problem is that we have some macro's for copying appointments and
meetings between own and shared calendar and they run fine digitally signed,
but Outlook seem to "forget" the "signing" and i then have to hit Alt + f11
| tools| digital signature....and choose it again.
why does'nt Outlook remember when i each time hit "yes" when it asks me if i
want to save it.

Would be very happy for any help....

Please provide a more detailed description of what you mean by losing
address books.
 
Hello,
it's like this....i probably mistyped a bit...it's adresslists it loses...
suddenly most of the address lists in our company
"disappear" during the day, and i when i open the adressbook i have only
"global adresss list" "contacts" and "Outlook adress book" left.
After a restart of Outlook they are all back.....
This happens to all of us using Outlook 2003 (38)
and we are running Exchange server 5.5 Sp4 on NT4.0 SP6..

Would be very happy if you could help out me with this one....:-))

Our organisation is build with a "Pharmacist union" as the top "umbrella"
organisation, they own several companies but all mail passes through our
servers. So..after these three adresslists i mentioned we have the top
"pharmacist union" and under there an adresslist with all the pharmacies in
Norway, and below there the three companies and their addresses and two of
them also have "official" external adresses. In total: six extra adress
lists.
I can mail you a print screen if you like....

We also have another problem after upgrading to Outlook2003, we have a few
macros which we use to copy or save meetings to a shared calendar,(they also
check for when participants are free and put their names into the shared
calendar) and they used to work fine on both Outlook '97 and '2000 but now
they often stops working and we have to press alt+F11 go to "tools" and
"digital signature" and sign them again. Then they work for some time....and
then we have to do it all over again. The digital signature is valid thru
06.02.2005, so why does this happen....?

Grateful for your help....:-)
