Carrie,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! It worked!!! I had to
use Outlook 2002 (a different employee's PC) My PC has
Outlook 2003 and I could not view the standard "File" I
could only see "File (Outlook/Exchange)" so when I
performed a search using my version of Outlook I was only
looking at Outlook documents - which came up with no
hits.
Using the other PC it worked wonderfully! I am so
appreciative!!! Thanks so much!!
