My version of Outlook is 2002; there is an option in the main window under; Tools, Options, Other There is a box to 'tick' that asks if you want to make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar. I don't know if this will help or not, if so... great, if not... oh well. Dave -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda F.

If you go into Internet Explorer and go to the Tools menu and choose Internet Options, then click on the Programs tab, is Outlook setup as your defalut email editor in there? If not, make sure it is. Otherwise, try doing a Detect and Repair from Outlook's Help menu (if you have a version that has that)...if that doesn't fix it, then I would suspect some OTHER email program on your computer is doing this...like Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora, etc....check any of these that you might have installed and make sure they are NOT setup as default.
