What version of Outlook are you using? I have "2016 (16.0.9029.2016) 32-bit installed and it does not exhibit the problems that you allege it does? Have you ever tried any of the MS Forums? https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_outlook http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook There are others of course, and I have had good success in the past getting answers. In my experience, the source of the problem is usually PEBKAC. -- Jerry
