Hi Doug thanks for that, the default button is already selected on Outlook,
but somehow on the email merge outlook express still gets activated! Any other ideas?

Hi Doug - sorry you may get this twice.
I checked where you said on outlook and it is already set for default. The problem i have is the outlook express is also set for default and won't allow me to alter this setting. i think this was preset by a new isp i signed up with a couple of months ago, but this is the first time i've hit this problem. Can i just take outlook express off the system? If so do you have any idea how?
