Default Merge-to doesn't allow email any longer

Not sure what I did but electronic mail does now show up on my mail merge
panel. Unfortunately the problem has evolved. When I try to do a mail merge
to email, mapi.dll is reporting an error and Microsoft is being sent a dump.

To answers Peter's question, I am using Live Mail.

This is what I found in my win.ini file:

[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMC=1
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

I recently had to reinstall Office 2000 Pro because of a problem with
my HD. After reinstalling it I did a critical update. This is when I
found out the email option was no long available in mail merge. I
suspect Microsoft considered this a major security risk and plugged
the hole. Any other suggestions?

The semi colons should not be at the beginnings of those lines. The
semi colon tells Windows to ignore the line - it's a comment marker!
The Mail section should read

[Mail]
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMC=1
MAPI=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

I have this same problem, but I have a twist to the problem. I
scanned my system for both DLLs. Only found mapi32.dll. I do not
have mapi.dll. Any suggestions?

Thx

OK I have this problem too.

I went to win.ini and opened in a notepad. It already has these
lines (copied as shown)
[Mail]
;msconfig MAPI=1
;msconfig CMC=1
;msconfig CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
;msconfig CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
;msconfig MAPIX=1
;msconfig MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
;msconfig OLEMessaging=1

For years we have been sending email using Word Mail Merge and
Access, outputting email through Outlook Express.

What has happened:
Following our normal practice:
Click on the Tools menu and click on Mail Merge. display the Mail
Merge Helper dialog box. Set up document and data source. Then
in the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, click on "Merge". button in
the lower part of the dialog box. Opening the Merge dialog box.
In the Merge to: field, drop down list - normally we select
Electronic mail.

However, Electronic mail is no longer in this list. What do we do
to get it back!?

Programs etc:
Word 2000 (9.0.2720)
Access
Outlook Exress
Windows XP SP2

Can you help?

Ensure that win.ini has the following lines:

[Mail]
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPI=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

and that the indicated dll files are present.

This worked before, but today when I tried to send an e-mail to
a bunch of clients, the merge-to didn't have an option for
e-mail. Just "Printer" and "New Document".

Any clues?
