I have installed Word, Excel, and Outlook from Office 2007 Enterprise. Word and Excel work okay. But Outlook can't open its main window when I start it (I get an error dialog from Outlook saying that). The configuration wizard run okay. I have tried this on two separate Fedora installations (F12 and F13) using the latest wine version from the repos (1.2). I have googled around and seen posts about problems with Outlook, but none sound anything like this. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA ken

I set riched20.dll, but what is the other? Is there a FAQ about >this somewhere?That's great that Word and Excel worked... You can lookup Office 2007 in the Applications Database and the answer should be there. James McKenzie

The only reason I would want to use Outlook is that it makes syncing between my desktop, company network, and pda phone very simple - guess which OS my pda phone uses :-( ? (This is getting off topic, but I have to add my 2 cents worth in.) Most virus/worm/malware attacks go after MS Windows, and in particular Outlook. That is why I gave up using Outlook, and am trying to stay away from Windows in general. But much of the world is not as enlightened as you or I, so I have to make due. That is where Wine becomes a wonderful tool. Most of the apps that are only for Windows do fairly well under Wine, and that is why I am going through this exercise right now. Back on topic: If there is a way to get Outlook running under Wine, even without email support, I would be happy. So any help in getting that accomplished would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all for your help and comments. ken
