Sorry, but while this sentence contains English words, the grammar is such I
don't understand the question.

Ah! You're installing Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode. You need to
install it in Corporate/Workgroup mode in order to connect to an Exchange
server.

Thanx!! Where do I select this mode? I've installed Outlook and other office
packages from my Office 2000 cd. When I select the "OUTLOOK" icon, it jumps
into the install immediately.

Thanx - d

It should be an option in the install, perhaps in the Custom install.
However, after the fact, you can change it on (I think) Tools>Options>Mail
Sevices>Reconfigure Mail Support. It's been a long time, so the tab may not
be exactly as named, but the "Reconfigure" button will be.
