MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / February 2006How do I turn on "Outlook Today"?
I only recently converted from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003. I think when I started, the Outlook Today screen came up (though maybe that was when I started Outlook 2000, which wasn't very long ago either -- I'm a recent upgrade from Outlook Express). Anyway, I've tried to follow the Outlook Help pasted in below, but nothing seems to happen when I click the "Personal folders" heading that has the little icon next to it. (I THINK I'm in the "Navigation pane," but I'm not 100% su9re. If you use a Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.) as your mailbox, in the Navigation Pane, click name of the .pst file. Note If you have more than one .pst file, the one that is your default delivery location is the one with . what happens when you go to tools, options, other, advanced and set the start up folder to be outlook today? >I only recently converted from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003.

The startup folder is already set to outlook today. But what Outlook Today is showing ( I guess that's "Outlook Today" that's showing it) is the three panels or columns: Folder List | Personal Folders | blank grey box covering half the screen > what happens when you go to tools, options, other, advanced and set the > start up folder to be outlook today?

"Outlook Today" is the web page assigned to your delivery location PST. Its icon is a little house/clock/paper leaf. That icon also exists on the Advanced toolbar. Clicking either one should display the Outlook Today screen.  SignatureBrian Tillman When I click the strange little icon you describe -- or when I load Outlook after exiting -- I get three panels: Folder list | Personal folders | a blank grey screen. > > I only recently converted from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003.

Right-click on the root of your folder list and choose Properties. Click the Home Page tab. What do you see in the "Address" field?

SignatureBrian Tillman I see "The page cannot be displayed."

Well, I see the Outlook Today page (with nothing filled in). > If I take the res:// off the front of the URL, I get a message saying > Cannot find 'file (file name follows, including % for spaces) I believe the res: introducer is required. the default file: introducer won't work. However, search for outlwvw.dll. If you locate it, does its path match that contained in the URL? If not, can you change the URL in the Properties of the message store to match the actual location? SignatureBrian Tillman I've got an outlwvw.dll in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033, as far as I can tell. I don't know what you mean by changing the URL in the Properties of the message store to match the actual location. Remember -- this is the "New Users" section of the Outlook discussion group. You're over my head. > > I see "The page cannot be displayed." > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > path match that contained in the URL?

Right-click the root of your data store in Outlook (you remember, the root has that little house/clock/paper icon) and choose Properties. Select the Home Page tab. Change the URL there (the one starting with res://) and change the "Office" part to "Office11", to match the path where the outlwvw.dll file actually resides. SignatureBrian Tillman Actually, it was simpler than that -- All I had to do was click "Restore defaults" Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. (the problem apparently was that instead of one of the subdirectories being OFFICE11, it was simply OFFICE.) > > I've got an outlwvw.dll in c:\Program Files\Microsoft > > Office\OFFICE11\1033, as far as I can tell.
