I'm experiencing unusual behavior using Office Basic Edition 2003 on an IBM
Thinkpad running win XP Pro Sp2.

When I attempt to run the following code

Public Sub SendMe()
ThisWorkbook.SendMail ", "Test", False
End Sub

I get Run-time Error 1004, 'Application-defined or Object-defined error'

I have Outlook Express set as my default email prog, and I have the secutiry
feature turned off for warning if other progs try to send email as me. This
code works fine under identical conditions on my desktop but not on this
laptop. My desktop does have Office 2003 Pro instead of Basic, however.

Any ideas? Should I reinstall office? I already tried repairing it via
Control Panel applet.

Thanks,
William

In case anybody's still monitoring this question, we found that this bug
occurred when Office was installed *without* installing Outlook, even though
we were not using Outlook as an email client. After installing Outlook, the
code worked as expected. Apparently the Outlook installation adds the
emailing functionality to the entire suite.
