SYMPTOMS
When you display a Microsoft Outlook 98 item using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications or Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), you are not able to use the Next or Previous commands to move to the following or previous items in the folder.
MORE INFORMATION
If you manually open the item (without using code), the commands are available and perform as expected.

The following sample Visual Basic for Applications code illustrates the problem:
Sub DisplayMailItem()
Dim ol As Outlook.Application
Dim olns As NameSpace
Dim MyInbox As Object
Dim MyItems As Object
Set ol = New Outlook.Application
Set olns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' Set MyInbox to the user's default Inbox.
Set MyInbox = olns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
' Display the Inbox.
MyInbox.Display
' Set MyItems to the collection of items in the Inbox.
Set MyItems = MyInbox.Items
' Display the second item.
MyItems(2).Display
End Sub
After running this sample code to display an Outlook message, if you then point to Next or Previous on the View menu, the commands will be unavailable (dimmed).
