Thanks Peter--this solved the problem. It didn't work with Word as the
e-mail editor, but as soon as I turned that off, I was able to use Alt-V+I
and Alt-V+B (my guess worked :> ) to add the from and bcc fields.
Interestingly, they are both now available on my view menu to turn on and
off as I please. When switching back to word as the e-mail editor, the
fields are there, but there is no "on/off" checkbox on the view menu.

Is it possible these menu commands are just hidden? Outlook 2000 uses
dynamic menus by default. Try using the keyboard shortcut of ALT V + I and
see if that pops up the From field.

Subject: Unable to add "from" and "bcc" fields
Outlook 2000, SR-1 installed via AD .msi using custom .mst file created by
me with the Office Reskit (download from MS). (Exchange 5.5 sp3, but
probably irrelevant here).
I recently had to recreate my roaming user profile and now no longer can add
the "from" and "bcc" fields to my e-mail messages. Tried both with Word as
e-mail editor and not. If I open an old message and go to the "view" menu,
I can see the from field and bcc field options, but they are grayed out and
unavailable. If I'm in a new message they are not even on the list (don't
know if they should be there). Am I just looking in the wrong spot to add
this? I'm domain admin and local admin on my Win2k pro sp2 pc. I need the
"from" field so I can reply back to someone as our postmaster account
instead of me (I know I can get around this another way in the meantime, but
I previously had the "from" field). Other users on our network also appear
to have the same problem and some will likely need bcc. Anyone know a reg
entry or Q article that might help? I can't seem to find anything on the MS
site or Google, but I'm probably looking for the wrong thing.
Thanks,
Bonnie M.
