Default Merge-to doesn't allow email any longer

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?

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.

Thanks - this does restore the merge-to option. However, I can't find the
file "mapi.dll" on any of my XP systems. Is this a remnant from DOS days?

On further reflection, I don't have this file either
It's a throwback to Windows 95, and in the circumstances that line obviously
doesn't matter

I have some AOL files that are just above these. I am not nor ever will use
AOL.
Can I erase these files from this? does it matter?

Default Merge-to doesn't allow email any longer

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?

If you select Toolbars from the View menu and then check the Mail Merge
item, is the necessary button available on the toolbar that is then
displayed?

The necessary lines have been commented out - instead of

;msconfig MAPI=1

you need

MAPI=1

and so on.

It looks as if someone has run the msconfig utility (which lets you make
changes to the way your system starts up) and made changes which may need to
be reversed. Let's hope it's just these ones.

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

Found mapi.dll and my win.ini entries are an exact match. Any other

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
