About Paul Cunningham
Hi
I’m sorry but… unless I install VISIO I can not see the archive in outlook (2010 or 2007)
I can, however see the archive in OWA regardless of VISIO installation
any idea???
Hi Yair, sorry I’ve never encountered that problem. Archiving has just worked for me without Visio installed. I’m surprised that is the solution. Perhaps installing Visio triggers the install of a particular Office component that archiving needs. Have you tried doing a full install of Office first before you resort to installing Visio?
Sure, more than that I had Office 2007 and Visio 2007 installed on PC with WinXP Pro and no problems with the Archive folder. I replaced the PC with Win7 Pro 32 and Office 2010 BUT NO VISIO and no Archive folder.
boas
