How do I fix the "Organize" button while I am in my Inbox? I use that buttin
to create/filter a nearly 100% correct set of rules to move/color/delete
Adult and/or Junk mail to other folders etc. I tried to hit repair,
Reinstall, moved all messages and folder to the Outlook Express prior to
removal and re-installation and nothing worked! Not even the web help or
wizards suggestion did anything. I spent 4 hours fixing *NOT) it and got
nowhere. Any suggestions/help?

Thanks,
Alex...

You don't say what version of Outlook you're using. Outlook 2003 no longer
includes the Organize button on the Standard toolbar by default (I don't
remember whether or not Outlook 2002 did). You can find Organize on the
Tools menu, or you can add the button to your standard toolbar by
right-clicking the toolbar and clicking Customize.

Jocelyn, I seem to remember that ALL Outlook/Office versions have the
"Organizer Radio button. If you are lacking it, it may be possible that
during a customization of your version of Outlook it was inadvertently left
out. I my version of Office 2000 Premium, Outlook is but one program
component out of 10 in tha suite. If your not familiar with 2000, it was a
sort of flagship release of Office after Office 97. Similar to what Microsoft
did with Windows Millenium.

In Millenium they took the best of Win 082nd edition, added in a few of the
components that were going to be release in XP and later Server 2003. I love
when Microsoft does that.. They have 98se and have most of the bugs fixed,
then knowing what's being released, they take the new features of the next
major release, let the public give it a run while they finished XP (well
"almost" finished XP), then we work on a platform that was rushed to way too
soon. Hence the service packs 1,2, and now 3.

I am not complaining mind you, because I really do love to play with the
hundreds of permutations that Microsoft builds along the way. My God, with
all of the utilities, tools, tryouts etc, all you needed was rhe releases of
the .NET stuff and the latest SQL tppld and upgrades, you can actually
customize your desktop OS into anything you want just as long as you don;t
change any of the original code, or market it as your own new operating
system. Well back to your answer and qyestuin, the above pretty much explains
why I asked if anyone knew the answer. I was in my usual hurry to finish that
project amoung 12 dozen others.

It falls under/in the Tools selection, then you drag and drop it back to
the toolbar/taskbar to repair it. I did that several times before I realized
it was a MS Access tool that had to be written thru Access, saved, then added
to the tto selection list under Customize
