Journal Doesn't Work - Outlook 2003/2007

[Andrew]

For years, I have been happily using the Journal function to log Office
documents worked on as a supplement to my personal time tracking system
(various Outlook versions, various machines, various employers). For some
reason, my Journal stopped functioning about a year ago (under Outlook 2003)

Every now and then I try to get it working, but have had no success. As of
that day, my Journal automatically records nothing.

Fast forward to today, I am running the Outlook 2007 Beta, have turned on
all options for automatic logging for all applications, and am still getting
bupkus. Was trying to jog my memory as to what I worked on yesterday, and
couldn't.....

This has gotten me so mad that I am posting this query .....any guidance
from anyone?

I'd try a new profile (created via Control Panel, Mail) first. Add your
PSTs and accounts to it.
If that doesn't help, then there might be something wrong with your PST.
Don't run the scanpst program of Outlook 2007 Beta 2 though without
first making a backup copy. The repair program is not functioning 100%
yet in B2 and might destroy your file.
