Hi Russ,

Im not sure the tone in which you answer people's issues is quite
appriorpriate or if im taking what you say the wrong way as i dont really
think the "finally" part of your message was required.

Ok for the past 6 months when i opened outlook it prompted me which profile
to use which i would select and use ok for that email address, i then close
down outlook, start outlook up again and select a different profile. Nothing
has changed on the PC other than maybe some updates sent from Microsoft.

The "Prompt for profile to be used" is selected which i have checked by
going to Control Panel - Mail - Show Profiles.

But when i try to open Outlook it is no longer prompting me which profile to
use and opening im guessing the last one it used before it suddenly started
misbehaving.

Thank you to anyone that can help in advance.

No. You did not mention that. Nice to know that, finally. Does Outlook
always open with the same profile? State the steps you used to get Outlook
to prompt. Does Outlook always open to the same profile? If so, what
transports re in that profile?

oh i think i also mentioned it doesn't matter if i restart or shutdown the
PC
when it starts back up it still doesn't ask me anymore which profile to
use
so im sure it nothing to do with outlook not closing properly.

Usually means Outlook never exited completely. Check and see.

Hi,

Im running Outlook 2003 which has been working fine for the past 2
years
while set up like this. I have 3 profiles set up for 3 different mail
accounts. Outlook usually prompts me to choose a profile when i start
up
outlook, for some reason this is no longer giving me the option and
just
opening one of the three profiles. I have tried a few things now to
fix
it -
even if i set it to "always open this profile" its not that profile
that
opens. Anyone know why this could suddenly stop asking me which
profile
to
use?

I've tried re-installing office and also doing a detect and repair -
this
hasn't fixed the issue.

Thanks in advance

Lindsey
