Thank you for clarifing. That lets everyone in the world know that MVP in no
way means anything close to a person to ask for any kind of constructive help
or advice. I shall make a note and never bother even thinking an MVP is
around these newsgroups for any other purpose than self gratification.

As I said, I do not suffer fools. People who install beta software and

fools.

And I make no apologies.

As I said, I do not suffer fools. People who install beta software and
expect the same level of performance and stability as a released product are
fools.

And I make no apologies.

Ask for assistance on any other Outlook problem, I am happy to help.

Thank you for clarifing. That lets everyone in the world know that MVP in
no
way means anything close to a person to ask for any kind of constructive
help

I will also agree that there are serious installation issues: I have just

been the case with VISIO - the installer is unable to find some necessary
files. I already gave up...
