Help Please,
I just got a new computer at work and my Outlook template files will not
open. This computer doesn't seem to reconize .oft files as Outlook templates.
I can create a new template, but once I save and close it, I can not open it
and I get the following error message.
----------------------
"The command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using"
----------------------
My old computer and my new computer were/are using Outlook 2003

OK, I think I've find what caused the problem.
My new computer has Office 2003 installed.
I needed MS Access 2000
I installed Office 2000 (for some reason, I couldn't just install Access by
itself)
When I restored my system back to the state it was in before the Office 2000
installation, Outlook reconized the .oft files and everything works.
However, I DO need Access 2000.

I've solved it.
I installed Access 2000 then
I reinstalled Office 2003
Everything works now and my .oft files can be opened in Outlook 2003
