In Outlook 2003 all searches have stopped working. When I enter a search
word it searches but doesn't find anyhting and will run for ever.
Any ideas?

I'd suggest you explain more clearly what you mean and the steps you used to
disable whatever function you think you should have.

Russ,
I haven't disabled anything. The standard search box in Contacts, Tasks and
Calendar have just stopped working.

Regards,
Mike

Not sure which you mean by "standard Search box." Type a Contact to find?
Find? Advanced Find?
Still don't know your Outlook version.
What changes were made to your configuration recently?
Does your Outlook Address Book still work correctly?

Russ,
Outlook 2002 is the version I'm using.

Type a contact to find - Find - Advanced find - none of these work.

I have just downloaded MS Lookout and that works fine.

The only change to the computer is that I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements
3.
Regards,
Mike

Then something must have disrupted the connection between the Outlook
Address Book engine and your Contacts Folders. Examine the correct settings:
