Using Access 2007 External-Data Create E-Mail. Error Outlook could not be started

[Justin Thyme]

Hello,

I'm running office 2007 pro on Vista.

In Access 2007 I would like to use the "Create E-mail" function.
When I select a table, Press the "Create E-mail" button. I recieve the
follwing error in a pop-up box:

"Microsoft Office Outlook could not be started. Make sure Outlook in
installed and properly set up on your computer"

I can go no further with this email function.



The Outlook 2007 mail works and everything seems OK.
Maybe because I'm using the Outlook connector there is some compatablitly
issue, who knows.

Anybody out there see this before?

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Access 2007 & Outlook

I have exactly the same problem, and have connector set-up.


I also have the email that I am accessing through the connector set as my default email address. If I change this to a normal SMT/POP email address, the Access functionality seems to work fine.

Not suggesting tht this is the solution necessarily, just that this is a way that I have managed to get the Access/ Outlook link to work.
