Thanks John.
Yes, I got my names wrong The three programs (Outlook, Word and Excel) are all part of Office 2010 as you say.
I have (err had) the original installation disc but, of course, I can't find it. Typical you may well rightly say!
Anyway I found an Office 2010 repair thingy on the net and it bloody worked to my utter amazement.
Thanks again.
Geoff
