Issues:
Today I got complains from one of my co-workers saying he could not open the Leave Request Outlook form, which designed by me a long while ago and put in the Oragnization Form library.

Today one of my friends asked my helps on tracing or finding out another people’s IP address. He indicated this guy(s) had his Yahoo! Messenger account and email address from some ways, then started to harass him in instant messages and emails with nasty words and graphics. My friend tried to know who this “bad ass” is(are) and where he(they) is(are) from. So a basic IP will be a starting point.
After researching and testing, I offered him some tips to find out the IP addresses from emails and messengers. But I could not guarantee the accuracy of my recommended ways since IP addresses alone could not identify anyone, especially dynamic IPs, ISP routers, and proxy could be used at the another end. So the best way is to report to the law force team and let them co-operate wit ISPs if the damage is serious. Of course, you can try these recommended ways to find out some information first anyway.

I need to post a serial how-to in Outlook for some of my clients. This one is part of “how to create email distribute list” and copy & paste from this website.
If you have e-mail addresses or other contact information in a program and want to import the data into Microsoft Outlook, follow the steps below.
Export and Convert the Data
Use the program’s export or save as feature to save the data into a “Comma Separated Value (.cvs) file to enable it to be imported to the Outlook Contact list.
-
Open the .csv file with Microsoft Excel or another program to prepare the data for export.
- The open file should be similar to the image shown below.
-
To successfully import these addresses over to Outlook proper labels must be assigned to the enteries in the Excel file. Insert a row above the current list of entries. Name the three column headings as Nick Name, Full Name and E-mail Address appropriately.
-
The Excel file should look like the image shown below.
- Save the Excel spreadsheet as a ” Comma Separated Value ” file with a .csv extension on to your Desktop.
- Click Yes if prompted to retain the format of the Excel file and then close the Excel program.

Last Friday, I spent half of my day on helping my friend to clean up its Outlook files. The main reason was that he kept all his emails since day one and the mail box was too huge to accept any new incoming emails (not sure the limitation on PST file from Microsoft is now still 2GB or not). I understand the importance of archiving correspondences between clients and my friend, so my strategy was to split all emails into a few PST (Personal Folders File) files which would be under the size limitation. And at the meanwhile, I set up an auto archive mechanism to move old emails to other pst file in the future automatically.
I know I was supposed to send him a detail instructions on how to do such things as my promised. But I could not get close to the computer during my busy weekend. So I am publishing all my steps here today, for him it will be a instruction via URL; and for all of you (include myself), a future reference post.

Since last week (at least I think from then) I could not open any attached emails in my Office Outlook 2003 any more. When some one forwarded an email to me with the original emails as an attachment, I clicked the attached email but nothing happened. Even I saved it as a msg file, but I could not open and read it in Outlook 2003 by double clicking as I used to.
I did not relate this problem with my Google Desktop till I checked on the web. It Seems that anyone who enabled latest version of Google Search add-in in Outlook 2003 would have the similar problem. Besides the attached emails, they could not open the added email items in the Calendar appointments. The version of Google Desktop Personal could be 5.5 beta, or similar version of Google Desktop Enterprise. I checked mine, which is Google Desktop 5.5.0709.30344-en-pb.
