Happy to have helped and glad it is working for you again.
One thing you might keep in mind... if you extensively customize your
toolbars (I have added an Address toolbar with frequently used preaddressed
new messages on it) then you might want to get your toolbars set the way you
want, then close Outlook and copy the outcmd.dat file to another location
(my documents works fine) in case the file corrupts again. Then, if that
happens, just copy the saved file over the corrupt one and you are back up
and running quickly.
Just a quick tip for this type of situation... I have found that if it
corrupts once, it will probably corrupt again.
