Organize tool doesn't work

I'm trying to make a rule with the organize tool in Outlook 2000 and I keep getting an error.

The Error is "This rule could not be created. Check your folder permissions."

I've checked MSKB and (of course) no help there.

Does anyone know of a way to get it working again. BTW I can make rules using hte rules wizard.

TIA

WHat are you trying to do? the above error sounds like you are trying to access a file/folder where you do not have the proper rights.

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express?

All I am trying to do is move an email to a folder in their personal folders. And again if i do it using rule wizard it works fine

I have a laptop user (W2k Outlook 2002 SP2) who has this problem with the Organize tool, but not using the Rules Wizard. He's a remote user using Personal Folders but did take the laptop to be added to his local office Exchange network (which they stuffed up - aaarrrgh!), and so I think the folder permissions have been set, but now he's not on the network (and won't be again) I can't access any folder permissions.

No one knows the answer...

Yes my user has a laptop. The organize tool doesn't work but rules wizard does. My user is connected to teh exchange server but delivers to his personal folders. I really do not believe that it is a permission problem,

There is a 32-KB memory limit for creation of rules, not a defined limit for the maximum number of rules that can be assigned to a folder. On the average, it is between 40 and 50 rules for each folder.

It seems to be impossible to increase the 32K limit.
