The procedure entry point StrTokEx cannot be located

[Robert Rodriguez]

After attempting to install a recent MS update on my W2K
system my Outlook 2000 has been giving me errors. I tried
updates, re-installing and even taking out office
completely.

Problem: When attempting to save a new appointment or use
any of the special features I get this message. "The
procedure entry point StrTokEx could not be located in the
dynamic link library MSOERT2.dll.” This message comes up
twice then I get another message. “An error occured while
attempting to open the Windows Address Book. unable to
find the WAB DLL.”

I am concerned about loosing my contact database.

So, does the MSOERT.DLL actually exist on your computer?

From simple examination of the filename, it appears to be MS OE RT DLL,
or Microsoft Outlook Express RunTime Dynamic Linked Library. I looked
at mine by right-clicking on it and the Version tab says it is Microsoft
Outlook Express RT Lib, so I was close. Looks like you need to
reinstall Internet Explorer (which includes Outlook Express). You
didn't mention which version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express
you have installed on your computer. Perhaps OL2000 is trying to call a
function from the DLL that doesn't exist in older version of this
library. Or maybe the DLL file is corrupted (have you ran an anti-virus
scan?).
