Did you Exit out of Outlook and close it and reopen it?

more than once.

i even tried creating a new rule with the same name then deleting the new rule.. no luck

Did you write any VBA code?

Then you may have the action coming from your VBA code.

i may just wait until i reformat my drive to get rid of this message.

Try commenting out all your vba code. What is the action being taken on your Outlook?

The only other thing I can think of is to log on to another system an open your outlook and see if it happens on that one too. It could be a rule saved on the Exchange server still.

What is the rule? How do you know its still running?

our data warehouse sends an email each morning after it updates. i had a rule that launched an access db or an .exe file.

i know its still running because each morning when i get here the rule error is open and it says it cant find the file its trying to open.
