Cant find "Out of Office Assistant "on the tools menu in Outlook

A

al

I have Office sr1 Premium 2000. In outlook, I cannot
install or find the Out of Office Assistant. I have
already gone into the Exchange Extensions Command and the
file that Microsoft says I need, Emsuix.ecf does not appear

Microsoft says I can use the Regisrty Editor but warns to
do this at your own risk.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Are you connected to an Exchange server? If not, then it will not work. It
is a server side operation.

Milly:

Thanks for your help. I think I am going to get a current
version of Outlook 2003 that will work with Windows 98.
Being self-employed,when I go on vacation it is always a
pain when people don't know I am out of the office.

Thanks again!

What is an exchange server and regardless of whether or
not I am connected to one, why would the "Out of Office"
assistant not appear under the "Tools" menu?

Repeat, it does not work without Exchange server. It will not appear if you
are using only POP3 mail or IMAP or any other mail account that the Exchange
server admin did not create for you.

Also, Outlook/Office 2003 will not work on Windows 98. It will only work on
NT versions of Windows, specifically Windows 2000 and XP (Win2k must be at
SP-3 level as well.)
