I'm using Office 97 with Outlook 2000 on a Windows 98 Machine. Outlook talks to an Exchange 2000 server. When I click the 'Send To Mail Recipient' option from within an Excel or Word document, a new e-mail is created and a copy of the document is attached, but I don't have access to the Global Address List on the e-mail server.
If I open Outlook and create the e-mail manually, then I see the list of company employees in the Global Address list.

Any reason why it wouldn't work from within Excel or Word?

Note ? All the other PCs in the company are Windows XP Pro and they don?t have that problem.

Thanks

I have the exact same setup on many of the PC's here and this has always been a problem. The only way to get this to work is to close the Excel or Word document and go to your OLK2K inbox and start a new message there. Address it, put in a subject if desired, add any text to the body of the message (here you should add text if anyone uses screen readers for the blind), then attach the document you want to send them.

One other way to do this is to press CTRL+A in Word to select all and paste that text into a new message. I don't think this will work w\ Excel.
