Just a thought, did you reboot after installing TB as your default simple MAPI handler? You can check whether MAPI is configured in Word by issuing the following command in the Immediate window: MsgBox "MAPI is " & IIf(Application.MAPIAvailable, "available", "not available") (all the above command should be on one line) Because you're working with Excel macros, I assume you know how to access the Immediate window in Word. However, if you don't, here's how: 1. Start Word 2. Press Alt+F11 3. If the Immediate window isn't visible, press Ctrl+G 4. type the MsgBox command above. You should see a message box that tells you whether MAPI is available. Another thought -- AIUI, Windows 2000 and XP are "self-healing" and can restore "essential" system files when overwritten. Thus, Windows could (unhelpfully) retore the Outlook version of MAPI. Try running OL after you've set TB as the handler for simple MAPI. If OL starts without complaining, its MAPI library is still installed, in which case, someone else can hopefully enlighten us on preventing Windows restoring that DLL after TB replaces it. Other than that, I'm stumped. -- Geoff Lane Cornwall, UK -- Using The Bat! v1.62i on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Insanity is hereditary ... you get it from your kids! ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
