    Sharepoint workflow approvals

    Hi,

    We have a Sharepoint 2007 Server running on Server 2003.

    I have one particular user using Outlook 2003, when she goes to approve some workflows, Outlook crashes. A progress bar loads to 60%, then Outlook crashes and Outlook becomes unusable.

    This happens for some approval flows, but not all. I've checked event logs, but can't see anything applicable.

    Please can someone advise on how to troubleshoot?

    Thanks

    I would say that looking on the server to a solution to this problem is the wrong place - if I am understanding you correctly. It sounds more like an issue on the client machine to me. Do any other users with Office 2003 have a similar problem? If not, its definitely the client machine. In the advanced installation options for Office, there's a custom section defined for SharePoint integration tools. You could try removing/re-adding this into the setup and see if this resolves it. Or a simple 'repair' installation on the PC where it's not working?

     I did get my workflow to work correctly, but I did it in a different way.  I found this tutorial that has helped me in many ways.  I strongly recommend it!  If you have any specific questions, please let me know!
    Thanks
