I've been at this all morning, it's driving me insane and
was wondering whether the collective newsgroup's knowledge
and experience might be able to keep a poor hapless
trainee from going to the madhouse :P

Both Outlook and Outlook Express are installed on this
computer, and when I perform the Mail Merge function it
uses the Outlook Express configuration (which is messed up
and gives me an error message and nothing gets sent out).
I want it to get it to use the Outlook configuration
instead (which works just fine) but haven't been able to
locate the place to do this.

I've tried the Control Panel, the various Options and
Preferences tables on both Outlook and Express but I seem
to be missing something? I'm on Microsoft Exchange Server.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance,
Ryan

And you're now posting to the wrong group. This group is concerned with
Outlook, which is part of the Microsoft Office line of applications. Please
repost in an Outlook Express group (which you can easily find if you look).
 
Not sure exactly what you mean - what version of Outlook, and do you have
multiple profiles set up in control panel | mail? If you have a bad profile,
delete it and make the one you wish the default.

In control panel, internet options, programs, what's set as default mail
client? If it's currently set to Outlook, and yet is acting funny, set it to
OE, apply, close, then go back in and set it to Outlook.

...the OP's question is about how to use *Outlook*, not OE :-)

Methinks you need to change your specs prescription to something stronger.
Read the subject (which you didn't. Or, if you did, you didn't read it
carefully). What's that word in the brackets...? ;o)

Bugger off. Lanwench is correct. Read the body of the OP's question.
