Stop using the meter and test the circuit with a light bulb and pigtail

The wires are screwed on. I have checked with pig tail light. No good


You should also check for a loose neutral connection in the circuit
breaker
panel. Tighten all of the screws on the neutral bus bar.


I checked the neutral bar already and everything was tight.



Are the other five receptacles working? Is there anything else not
working? How old is the house? Is there a possibility that this outlet
is
also protected by a GFI receptacle located somewhere else?


No GFI in play here. Just 5 receptacles on this circuit.


You are really sure of that????

Are these outlets all original? Could there be a switched circuit
involved?



I just got back from the neighbors. Double checking everything. I found a
ceiling light and switch in a closet on the same circuit. Hard to get to so I
told her I would check that on Monday. (Striper Season (rock fish) is open and I
have been up since 4am) That is the only thing left to check and by following
the cable from the breaker panel into the house ( this is how I found the light)
the light is first in line.


Thanks for your help. Any more ideas are welcome
