MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Outlook 97, when you made changes to a view, such as adding fields, sorting, or filtering, you received a prompt to discard the changes, save them under a new view name, or update the current view. Later versions of Outlook automatically update the current view with the changes without prompting.
