Outlook 2003 An object could not be found
The funny thing with ‘professional’ software is the weird things you run into. Everytime. When you don’t need it. At 1 A.M.
This time around Outlook started whining about objects not found. It didn’t say which object which is kind of an easy way out. I can just see ourselves running around “Couldn’t find an object, couldn’t find an object”. Go figure.
Solutions on the microsoft site led to nowhere. They proposed creating a new profile, migrating all your mail, settings, rules etc to the new profile. I think not! The problem was easily created (really, I didn’t even had to do anything !) it should be easily fixable.
Luckily after googling for an hour or so I found this one:
Outlook 2003 The operation failed. An object could not be found error
“Answer: Close outlook, simply delete all the *srs files from %userprofile%\application data\Microsoft\Outlook.
EG C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.srs
When outlook is re-opened it will create a new *.srs file (* = the name of your profile in outlook)”
Yeah baby, simplicity rocks!
