GAL does not show up when e-mailing from Excel 2003
When I open excel and load or create a sheet or workbook, I then try to send
it via e-mail as an attachment (FileSend To) or by clicking the E-mail or Send as Attachment buttons on the toolbar. The blank mail window opens and I then click on the "To" button to open the GAL and select recipients, however the window that opens is showing my Contacts and a drop down has one other option to select a PAB....no GAL at all. There is no selection for or way to select the GAL. What I've checked so far: I opened the address book in Outlook, selected ToolsOptions and made sure the addressing "Show this address list first:" is set to the GAL (it is). The GAL is the only entry in the "When sending mail, check names using these address lists in the following order:" box. From Outlook, creating a new e-mail and selecting the "To" button, the GAL opens as expected. It just doesn't from Excel. Another oddness; typically you should have Outlook open for all the Office functions to work correctly, however if Outlook is not open when you select E-mail from Excel, it should prompt you for the Outlook profile to use. It is not doing this. Excel just opens the mail window with the same results. |

GAL does not show up when e-mailing from Excel 2003
Ok, this is now fixed. The problem, Outlook was not set as the default
e-mail client! What's weird is that Outlook did not protest about this until today while I was remoted into the user's PC checking other settings when up popped the box. Even more weird is that the box to make this check every time Outlook is started was checked (which means it should pop up the box every time Outlook opens). Oh well, at least it's fixed.

Bear in mind that yesterday was "Patch Tuesday" (2nd Tuesday of the month),
and that among Microsoft's updates were changes to Outlook, so your updates may have affected the behaviour. -- David Biddulph "elance" wrote in message ... Ok, this is now fixed.
