Hi Carol, I managed to change the default to Outlook Express, or so I thought, before reading your second message,however, If I try to send a document by selecting it via the send to option, a message pops up saying that either "there is no default e-mail client, or the current e-mail client can not fulfil the messaging request". Am I correct in thinking that the message I have put in quotation marks above implies that Outlook express can not send an attachment with a message if I use the send to e-mail recipient function from the file menu?
