Outlook 2003 & Internet Explorer 7

[Wes Craven]

I would NOT recommend installing IE7 with Outlook 2003. We just did a test
with this & IE7 takes away 2 functions from OL 2003.

First, the Outlook Today view is no longer available after the move to IE7.
It just shows a blank screen. After trying to access Outlook Today, it
causes all the other folders to be blank & you must close & reopen Outlook
2003.

Also, you can no longer print emails that are in HTML format. No error.
nothing happens. Plain text emails are okay.


I rolled back to IE6 after encountering these issues & everything works just
fine. I hope this saves any of you out there with the same issue some time.
i wasted about 4 hours of my day on this one.

FWIW, the issues described below do not happen on my workstation (Windows
XP SP2 & Windows 2003 SP1). Based on the description, it sounds like the
site might have modified IE zone security to the point where the features
are unusable. (Or, was this workstation upgraded from a beta versions if
IE7 to a final copy?)

I also would not recommend installing IE7 with Outlook 2003.

On 2 separate high end laptop systems (1 G of RAM, fast processors,
etc.) the installation of IE7 caused Outlook 2003 instability.
Numerous "Out of Memory" warnings, numerous "Must close" warnings, lots
of other strange things that could not be explained like the viewing
pane turning off when Outlook 2003 would "need to close", etc.

After 2 systems in a row exhibiting problems, I had seen enough and
rolled back to IE6. All of the strange problems went away immediately.
I think I'll wait a little longer on IE7 to give Microsoft time to
work out the issues.
