tt, remnants of Outlook 2003 could be one possibility. Bad install the first time could be another.

A little more info on Office 2007.....I installed SBS 2003 R2 Standard on a Dell server. After setup, I pushed Outlook 2003 to the clients, set up Exchange accounts, Pop3 accounts and everything was peachy until I installed Office 2007 without Outlook 2007. Outlook 2003 vanished on the client machines. I thought I was going bonkers but came to the conclusion that Office 2007 had to be the bandit. I installed Outlook 2007 on the client pc's and ran into the above mentioned problem. I posted this question on EE then decided to do a repair on Office 2007 which resolved the issue. I think that there were remnants of Outlook 2003 still hanging around in the registry of which Outlook 2007 could not delete when installed. What do you think?
