Got some real hope from this post Paula but it did not work. Thanks anyway.

I have seen many, many references to this problem over two weeks of
searching but so far no resolution. I am a big MS supporter but patience is
wearing thin.

Have you tried reinstalling/repairing Office?

I've seen sites that profess to have that file available as a download.
Please note that I don't know what that file does so I would tread
carefully.

It's the latest version of the Visual C runtime DLL. Most C/C++
programs built using Visial Studio 2005 require this DLL to run. It's
a standard part of the distribution for such programs, and it's
redistributable without royalites, so not surprising it can be found
on may web sites.

Harlan and JoAnn,

Thanks for your replies. If it is a standard dll why can Outlook not find it?
I have seen reference to downloading that file but generally they go on to
say it did not help. If I was to download it, where do you recommend to put
it?

Cheers,
Steve
