[Trainer-talk] Outlook 2007 searches

[CathyAnne]

Is it possible you have multiple data files? It wouldn't hurt to try the following:
1. Open the Tools Menu
2. Activate instant search
3. Open the search options
4. Uncheck the data file you want searched.
5. Save the changes and try another search.
