Hi brendan - I don't see it in my spam folder. The folder may have been emptied since then. Would it be possible to get the instructions sent to me again? I'll check my spam folder this time. Thanks.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much. The RTM add-in was disabled. Works now.

Hey, I have the same problem. How did you fix the add-in being disabled? I'm going to try reinstalling milksync to see if that helps. Please email me if possible.

I've checked my add-in's - no RTM add-in. It has worked previously, although very slowly, so the add in must have been there, but then stopped working and I have given up. I will submit a report on the issue.
I have an Education Qld laptop, which means my administrator access is slightly limited. I had to spend over an hour getting the computer techs to login via remote just to get this program loaded! I've never had this issue before, but RTM must access some sensitive systems that are well guarded on our laptops.
Don't know when I'll be able to try to make this work again. I have little enough time as it is, which is why I'm trying to get tasks organised in the first place!

Hi kezzandy,
The actual name of the add-in is "MilkSync for Microsoft Outlook". This page gives instructions on enabling or disabling add-ins within Outlook.

I see the request you submitted in our system, and we'll be in touch via email.

Thanks!

I was experiencing the same problem with outlook 2010 and indeed the RTM add-in was disabled. I'm not sure why Outlook disabled it as I didn't do it myself. However, even after doing this, completed tasks weren't update on RTM from Outlook. I had to mark the task as not complete, sync, mark complete, and sync.

If you have a way to detect whether or not the RTM add-in loaded successfully and provide some form of error recovery or at least visual indication to the user that the add-in is not loaded, (tipped over cow icon plus tool tip in task tray :-) ) that would be great.
