We are using Windows Vista Business with Microsoft Office 2007. There is one PC at a remote warehouse that does not have access to our coporate network, but uses a dial-up connection to check email and browse the web.My problem centers around Outlook 2007 and its dial up connection. Whenever it does a background send/receive, it automatically disconnects. I've looked at all the setting in Outlook and have not been able to get it stay connected. There is a setting in Tools/Options/ on the mail setup tab; that is a check box that says "Hang up when finished with a manual Send/Receive". I've unchecked that box, but I can't get the background send/receive task to leave the connection open.If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful !!!

Hi Ron Aris, It seems a Outlook configuration issue, please submit it to the Outlook Discussion Group (http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?lang=en&cr=US&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.general). The support professionals there are better qualified to assist you. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hi Joson,Thanks a lot for you advice, I'll post the question over there and see what happens. I'll mark it as answered here.Ron
