MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2003Lose Focus When Switching to Contact List
When in Outlook and I switch to my contact list, the focus is initially on the first contact. However the focus immediately moves to something else (I don't know where it goes) and I must bring the focus back to the contacts before I can type a name. Not a killer, but not convenient. This machine seems to be the only one that does this. Running XP with Outlook XP and all updates installed. Does anyone know how to address this? Thanks.

Also when I switch to my Calendar view the day loses focus too (it is initially on the current day). I've installed all the updates as well. I thought I was the only one with this weird problem. I hope someone can help us. Adam ------------------------------------------------ I found the problem. I have Outlook configured to go directly to 'Outlook Today' on startup. If you change it to startup in any other folder you dont lose focus when switching between Contacts, Calendar, etc... Pretty dumb bug. ------------------------------------------------ > *I found the problem. I have Outlook configured to go directly to > 'Outlook Today' on startup.

It works but if you open another application or even windows explorer then close the application the problem reappears. I thought I had it!! ------------------------------------------------ |
