Whenever I opened Outlook 2003, I would get a message if the Out of Office
Assistant was enabled, asking if I wanted to turn it off. I don't get this
message with Outlook 2007. Is there a setting to turn this message on in
v2007?

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm sorry; I should have been more specific. I know about the status bar
notification but is there a way to have it "pop up" upon opening Outlook like
it did in v2003? It's easy to miss down there!
 
No. In combination with Exchange 2007 you can schedule the OOF to turn
itself on/off automatically so therefore they went for a design change which
had a less intrusive alert.
 
You need to be connected to an Exchange 2007 server for this. The Out of
Office Assistant screen will then automatically change to the new layout
allowing you to set separate messages for internal and external mail and
allow you to schedule it.
 
Can anyone answer the original question? It's hard to believe such a useful
feature would be eliminated with no work around to get the pop up window to
remind you that OOA is on and giving the option to turn it off. Or is this
just one more Microsoft stupid mistake in the 2007 Office suite?

Answered by Roady. The status bar tells you it is enabled. Set an end date
to turn it off.
