Office2000 Email Merge stopped working and annoying prompts
Thanks Doug,
I had seen your previous posts and although the issue is not the same (email
option is not grayed out, just does not proceed), I do plan on checking the
win.ini file when I am next in the office. Since the prompt for an Outlook
profile does occur and indicates that the merge does begin, I am not sure
this is where the issue lies, but will take a look.
Was hoping that MS might recognize the need to circumvent the continual
prompt for permissions when it has already been authorized without having to
download a third party piece. Anyone? If not, again, I appreciate the tip
on the "Express click".

Two questions please:
Using word 2000. Email merge (word to outlook) was working fine until two
of the addresses in my list failed (addresses were not valid). Since then,
when I try to do a merge, word prompts for the outlook profile to be used but
never proceeds further (no prompt to allow access to Outlook, etc.). Are
there particular .dll's I should look at replacing and, if so, can I replace
them with those from XP machines also running office 2000 (unfortunately, my
machine is W2K).
When/if I do get it working again, I would love to be able to tell it to
allow access to Outlook for X number of minutes and NOT be prompted to
approve the sending of each email. This sort of defeats the expediency of an
email merge. Is there a registry edit that I can make to tell it to be
satisfied with the general "allow access for X minutes"? I thought that it
worked this way on my XP/Office2003 machine but I see now that asks for the
same annoying authorization for each mail.
Thanks in advance for the help!
