Default Outlook Express and Microsoft Office Outlook

Hi

Here is an update, I am able to answer some of your previous questions.

We are using Windows XP Professional,

Microsoft Office Word 2003.

I believe Outlook is set as our default Mail Client, but as I have set up
Outlook Express for receiving and sending emails will this alter? How do I
check this?

When we try to use our Address Book in Word for entering names and addresses
of our clients in letters we get the following message:

"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot
fulfil the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it
as the default mail client".

Then when you click off the above you get the following appear:

"Logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address
book. Error Code: "Unspecified error".

I am not sure where I find Microsoft Exchange, can you please advise.

Hope I have given you sufficent info. Many thanks.

Maureen

Thanks for replying. As I am not at work until Monday 7th April, I can only
answer some of your queries. I believe we are using Office version 2003 and
Outlook is set as our default Mail Client, I will clarify this on Monday.
There is an error message when trying to use the Address Book in Word, but
until I go to work on Monday I will let you know what this is then. Many
thanks.

Need much more info from you:

Windows version?

Office version (e.g., Office 2003 SP3; Office 2007 SP1)?

Is Outlook or Outlook Express your default Mail Client?

What kind of "conflict between the two programmes"? Post any error messages
in their entirety.

I have recently set up Outlook Express at work, not realising that the

use our Address Book when we use Word 2003 for placing names and addresses

can anyone help me solve this problem, by the way at work I am using
Windows XP.
