How to fix non working “Edit this task” button of SharePoint workflow notice in Outlook and InfoPath 2007

Challenge:

Set up a workflow for the InfoPath form in the MOSS 2007 and the workflow worked fine. The approval notice had been sent to the next person’s mailbox, but the Edit this task button on the toolbar of Outlook 2007 did not work. When you click it, nothing happened. You can click the infopath xml link in the message body and the infoPath form was opened. And the Edit this task button in the InfoPath 2007 message bar did not work either.

According to Kerry’s MOSS blog:

This is apparently related to Outlook 2007 using InfoPath to display the approve/reject form. This form contains a CLSID of {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}. This CLSID is apparently “kill bitted” on some systems and is prevented from being displayed.

Fixed the Outlook 2007 continuously crash issue

I just decided to upgrade my main work machine to the Outlook 2007 after testing on the laptop for the past weeks. But I did not expect it would cost me two days to trouble shoot an annoying issue: the Outlook 2007 just kept crashing on me when it tried to open my Exchange profile.

Here is the details: After the installation, Outlook 2007 crashed whenever I tried to open it. After crashing, Outlook would offer to open in safe mode the next time I tried to run it, again crashed. Then it offered to detect and repair,  and I did (a couple of times), but with no good news. I unloaded the whole Office 2007 and re-installed again, but with no results.

How to export Outlook Distribution List to .csv file format

[Updated on 2008-12] This post can be treated as one of the “how-to” serials on Outlook tips.

I know we can export Contacts from Outlook directly into .csv (Comma Delimited) files, but not the same case in Distribution list. That is understandable since Distribution lists are not creating any new Contacts, just grouping these existing contacts.

But I need to export these Contacts into different .csv files based on the Distribution Lists I already created before. So I had to do extra steps to make the export happen.

Step 1: Save Distribution List as Text file

Cannot use right click or drag/drop of mouse in Microsoft Word and Outlook 2003

Word_Icon_A Today I tried to copy and paste an email in Outlook 2003 but found out the SELECT ALL function of my mouse did not work. I could not highlight any texts in the mail body, and I could not even see the copy & paste options and the whole context menu by right clicking my mouse. 

Since I know I configured in the Outlook to use Microsoft Word 2003 as the primary email compose tool, I opened a new Word Window to see how things do in the Word. Same thing happened in Microsoft Word 2003, I could not use all my mouse right clicking.
