If I then close & reopen Outlook everything is back to normal & dialup takes place OK. Looks like some default setting someplace is getting switched wrong by the interupted dialup ~ but how to fix this? Thanx.	Guest (0)

Looks more like I will have to upgrade to Office XP, & hopefully that will cure it as they dont list it as a known prob with anything other than 2000 . My 95 & 98 never had the prob, I went to 2000 & various things got worse, but under XP all is fine & stable except for this dialup crash . . . Two steps fwds, one step back grrrrr ;-))	Guest (0)
