sorry for posting in more than one newsgroup but I didn't get an answer in
the Vista group so thought I might have more luck here.

I am using outlook 2003 on vista and when I clicked on a web link in an
email the page used to open shortly after a dialogue box telling me to
locate link browser. I have now pointed the link browser dialogue to the IE
executable and now get two instances opening - one with the link in the
email and the other with my home page. Any Idea how to fix this?

TIA

Jon

Thanks,

can't see how to do this in vista but I have made IE the defalt and can live
with links opening in IE and using FFox as my main browser.
