You're kidding, right?

Let's take a look at the section of unquoted material of yours from
Jay's message, which (properly) quoted yours:

> Does it crash on the first output record?
> No, it only crashes when the first record meeting the criteria for the
> called table is executed.

The first line is from my message, the next two are from your reply.
If I hadn't been the one to write the first line, and known that I
hadn't written the next two, there is absolutely no way to know who
wrote what.

Note how your message text is properly quoted above, having been
marked with "> " to designate quoted text.

Had your message properly quoted mine, then Jay's quoting of your
message would have looked like this:

> > Does it crash on the first output record?
> No, it only crashes when the first record meeting the criteria for the
> called table is executed.

Notice the difference?

Somewhere in Outlook is a way to tell it to follow universally accepted
quoting methods.
