Can' save rule

[Mark A. Sam]

I am unable to save new rules or changes to rules using Outlook 2002. I get
this message when I Click "Ok" to close the wizard:

A value in the 'Rule Description' box has not been set.
To set a value, click underlined words at the bottom of the rules wizard.

I am doing what the message says. I have been donig this for a couple of
years. This message began appearing recently and I need to set some rules.
I am forced to cancel any new rules or changes.

Thanks for any help. God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

Check to see if it is disabled in the HELP under diabled
items

I don't understand what you mean. See if what is disabled? How do I find
that option?

Thanks for additional help.

At the bottom you'll find the rule with underlined words. These undelined
words need to be clicked and a valid variable must be set for them.

Roady,

I understand that and that is what I do. I am entering values. That isn't
the issue. The message is bogus. It is probably another Microsoft bug, but
I thought I'd ask.

God Bless,

Does it still happen when you disable all the other rules before creating a
new one? If so; you've created to many rules. You can only have up to 32KB
of rules active.

Roady,

I didn't try that, but things are fine now without explanation. I just set
up a new rule and modified another without a problem. I keep your
suggestion in mind for the next time.
