Address Book not accesible
I am running word 2000 on vista , and when click on tools - envelopes &
labels and click on the contact book symbol , I get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client." if I then click OK I get the message "Logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book. Error code: "Unspecified error".". My default email program is windows mail. Any help gatefully received. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/201003/1 |

In windows mail - tools - options -general tab, the section default
messaging programs. the lfirst line says" This program is the default mail handler" the make default button next to this is greyed out, and cannot be activated. so why does the system think outlook express is tyhe default, and how do I change it?

Changing anything in Windows Mail won't change anything. The point is, Word will NOT use ANY addressbook OTHER than Outlook. You can use an Excel Spreadsheet or an Access database to do mailmerge from, but ONLY Outlook Contacts. |

The system does not think that Outlook Express is the default mail program.
What it is telling you is that it is (the full version of) Outlook that must be the default mail program to be able to make use of the Address Book facility. Outlook and Outlook Express are two different mail programs and Outlook Express was replaced by Windows Mail in Vista. -- Hope this helps.
