After upgrading from office 97/outlook 97 to outlook 98, when I send a message my name is not in the from field when the message is received. It is in the from field when viewed in the sent folder. It was working before the upgrade. I do not want touninstall or upgrade at this point. Is there a fix???

Review the info under Extras|Kontos|Propoerties. Is everything there? Try re-entering a line again and applying the change.

I did not understand your question properly.Anyway this is what i can help you.When you receive a mail from some one the Mails get downloaded to your inbox.So it depends on what type of View you are using i.e AutoPerview or Perview pane.

just about the Inbox View you would find fields like From,Subject,Date and so on with seperator.

Right Click using u r mouse on any one of those fields and scroll down to Customoize Current View.

In the Description Column Click on Fields and use Your discretion whether u want to add or remove any one of those fields.

I hope this helps.Please be more specific if this does not help you & i will get back to you soon.

Look at this slipstick article on Microsoft Outlook 98. It has reference to issues concerning the "from" field in the sent items folder. It includes several download links for various patches, so reloading the software should be unnecessary.

There are several references, so be sure to scroll down and browse the whole article. (Or do a quick search for all instances of the word "field".)

One such discussed problem states, "Field mapping for imported data was missing in the original Outlook 98 release. This patch adds it, but only for built-in fields. If you need to import/export custom fields, see To import or export data from custom Microsoft Outlook fields and forms."

On yet another, it states, "Though this patch deals specifically with Internet mail messages, Microsoft says this version is for everyone -- even if you connect to Microsoft Exchange Server. It has at least one problem -- the From field will be left blank in your Sent Items folder for Corporate/Workgroup users with the Internet Mail service. Later patches apparently correct that."
