When using Access 2000 (on an XP desktop) we want to send send a copy of a page to an email recipient. We have did this easily when using an NT workstation. We use File, SendTo, Mail Recipient (as attachment). But now it is apparently trying to launch/use Outlook Express and not Outlook 2000. How can we change Access 2000 to use Outlook 2000 for this, versus Outlook Express. It looks like we have the same issue with Word 2000 on this machine also....this is our first XP box and we are learning slowly....

The problem is not with any of your Office applications but rather with what Windows thinks your email client is. It is a very easy setting to change and here are the steps:

First, right click on Internet Explorer on the desktop and select properties. You can also get there by going to the control panel and opening ?Internet Options?

Next, click on the ?Programs? tab and change the ?E-mail:? setting from ?Outlook Express? to ?Microsoft Outlook?.

You should now be able to use the ?send to? option and have it open the correct client.
