OK....in Outlook 2000, you make this choice when you first install it...you have a choice to either install the Corporate/Workgroup configuration, or the Internet Email configuration, or the No Email configuration (which is what you should have chosen, but obviously didn't)....so, what I would do is uninstall Outlook and reinstall it and make this choice...this would probably be the easiest way at this point, since you can't even get inside Outlook (I *think* this is what you are saying) However, if you CAN get inside Outlook, go to the Tools menu and choose Options, then click on the Mail Delivery tab and click on the button at the bottom that says "Reconfigure Mail Support"...once in there, choose the No Mail configuration and OK your way out....close Outlook and open it again, and you will have just the non-mail parts of Outlook (which includes the calendar) Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Julie R Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 6:51 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Can I use just the calendar in Outlook? Hi, I would like to use the calendar feature in Outlook, but would like to continue using Outlook Express for my e-mail. Is this possible, and how do I configure it? I have a single computer, single user, WinME, MSOffice 2000, OE/IE 5.5 When I try to start Outlook to use the calendar I get the error message: "Outlook could not start because a location to send and receive e-mail could not be found......" Thanks for the help!!
