Custom Views Keep Disappearing

I have created several custom views for tasks in Outlook XP and they keep
disappearing.  Some times they'll last for several days some times only for
several hours and then they just disappear and have to be recreated.  Does
anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Close Outlook, rename the outcmd.dat file to outcmd.dat_old, then open
Outlook to see if that helps.

Thanks so much!  I'll give it a try.

That worked for a couple of days, but my views just disappeared again.  Any
other thoughts?

It just occurred to me that this may have started happening after one of two
recent changes with respect to Outlook.  I recently started using an OST and
I recently upgraded to ActiveSync 4.1.  Any thoughts?
