I am getting an error every time I open a contact in my contact list. I am using Outlook 2002 with Windows 2000. The error is "Could not load object, because it is not available on this machine" I click ok then I get "Object doesn't support this property method: 'pageSBE.DataGrid1' Line no:11". After clicking ok at that message I am able to open the contact. I did some research on the MS site, but no help. Does anyone know what is happening to me??

Thanks,

Nicole S.

Sounds like your outlook program has become corrupted.
First thing - check for viruses on the computer.
Second, export the contacts and any other information that you want to save.
Then uninstall the outlook..reboot..reinstall.
Should fix the problem.

I tried your suggestions too, but it did not change anything. Maybe it is some sort of bug. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help,

Hm. Doesn't sound like corruption to me... and I disagree with the reinstall too. Sorry and no offense to the other answerer.

Sounds more like you need to right-click your contacts folder, choose Properties. There's a box that says "When posting to this folder, use:"

I've got 2000, and mine says "Contacts". Perhaps this has been changed to some type of custom form? Or perhaps you edited your Contact form?

If that's not the direction, please don't reinstall Outlook. Just run Detect and Repair from the Help menu.

I tried your suggestion first, but it is still doing the same thing. It does use the contacts folder and I ran the detect and repair. I didn't uninstall and reinstall because my co-worker needed his pc. I am going to try the other solution now. Any other suggestions??

Thanks

I'm sorry, yes...

Try going to Tools, and looking for an option for Add-ins (in the Advanced it think). Make sure you don't have any checked that could be *calling* this object.
