"Send" error message.

[Art Mahon]

Using Office 97, SR2, Windows XP Home. Bring up a report in Access and try
to SEND using Snapshot. On clicking SEND the following error message comes
up. "Microsoft Access can not open the mail session. Check your mail
application to make sure it is operating properly." I have checked the
mail session (Using Outlook Express, ver 5.0 on a dial up system) and as far
as I can determine everything is set/working properly. Using email there is
no problem. I have tried the suggestions in MS Knowledge Base Article
283173 but the referenced Registry entry does not contain "MapiDLL". Need
some suggestions on what setting I have miss set in OE or other ideas.

Thanks,

You need Outlook, not Express for this, as OE is not a full MAPI client.

Milly,

When I try to do the same action on my home computers (one XP Prof, Office
97; one Win 98 SR2b, Office 97; OE on both; only difference is home is DSL),
the command works great - no problem sending a snapshot. Is there
possibility of a MAPI setting somewhere that I am missing on the problem
computer?
