You cannot add a shortcut to new folders on the Shortcuts bar by using an add-in in Outlook 2003 (829063)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

SYMPTOMS

If you run an add-in in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, the add-in creates a new personal folders (.pst) file and tries to add a shortcut to the new folders in the Outlook 2003 Shortcuts Bar. However, the shortcut is not created as expected.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the add-in cannot create the shortcut to the folders because the folders do not exist during the execution.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, quit and then restart Outlook 2003. Because the folders now exist, the add-in will successfully create the shortcut to the folders.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
