Office2000 Email Merge stopped working and annoying prompts
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! Andi L, MCP |

For the first issue, see if the following article helps:
http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0002.htm To avoid the prompts, download the "Express ClickYes" utility that is available as a free download from: http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ That will allow you to overcome the prompt for permission which may be what is causing the issue. -- Hope this helps.

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". Andi "Andi" wrote: Two questions please: Using word 2000.
