Thanks for your replies Roy and Bonnie. I was amazed when I stared the boss's PC this morning, that the Send To function seemed to work fine - not sure why, or what I have done. Thanks anyway. Actually, I was not sure what you were telling me to do Roy, but it doesn't matter now!! Thanks for your responses and for taking the trouble to help. Only problem I have now is with an email stationery file - when I click on Create Mail, I get the warning about current security settings prohibiting running ActiveX controls on this page. The email stationery opens ok, but just would like to get rid of the message. Thanks all, Bye RogerSubject: [mso] Sending Word doc as attachment in OE - HELP!!From: "Roger" Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 23:14:24 -0500 (EST)Hi, I have messed with the boss's computer, now he wants me to fix it!! In fairness, HE wanted me to reformat and reinstall everything so I did! (O/S is XP Home with SP2, Office is 2003) Before this, he could send MS Word documents as attachments to emails using Outlook Express (not liking Outlook) without any difficulties. After the reinstall, when he first tried, an error message came up saying something about 'create a profile in Outlook'. Outlook was shown as the default mail handler. I made OE the default but that didn't help. Then I modified the installation of Office and deleted Outlook completely since he does not use it. Now, I get the error message "You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book". I have done a search for assistance and so many 'solutions' seem to be so long and convoluted I am reluctant to try. Is there a simple remedy to this error message, since we did nothing out of the ordinary when originally setting up his email account. I have never had anything to do with MS Exchange and do not know where to start! Hopefully someone can help me pacify the boss, and if I am fortunate enough to get an overnight reply I may have it fixed before he comes in tomorrow morni ng! Thanks heaps everyone!

There is no problem sending an Email from Outlook Express and simply attaching a document as an attachment. Sorry for not making this clear Thanks Roger_______________________________________________From: "Roy" Subject: [mso] Re: Sending Word doc as attachment in OE, - P.S.Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 23:28:46 -0500go to tools and add the function to the bar...Roy Crockettwww.ricrockett.comroy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx VirginiaFrom: Bonnie Lenane Subject: [mso] Re: Sending Word doc as attachment in OE - HELP!!Date : Mon, 22 Nov 2004 06:02:20 +0000Just a thought, as I've noticed I get a similar message with Outlook...Does it make a difference if he tries to send with OE already open or does the message only appear if he tries to send with OE closed?Bonnie _______________________________________________ No banners.
