Problem with Mail Merge (Office Pro 2003)

[FrankLNC]

I'm not able to get mail merge to work in Office 2003 Pro. I'm trying to
created mailing labels using my contacts (Outlook Address Book). The mail
merge is intiated from Outlook and I get as far as Selecting a Data Source
until it bombs. (I select Address book as the data source)

Here's the error message...

A Required file, "SCHDMAPI.DLL could not be loaded. Please check you email
installation and re-install Microsoft work if necessary.

Does anyone actually have this dll installed with Office 2003?
I can't find it in any installation.

My pst file is version 2003.

any help would be appreciated,

Frank,
Try initiating the mail merge from Word instead of Outlook.

Shouldn't be necessary.
Try this instead:

Russ,
I thought about that, too, but the MS fixes for this problem appear to apply
to OL 2000; since he stated he was running 2003 I figured it wouldn't help.
Do the OL 2000 fixes apply to this problem?

I've tried them all already.
Nothing works. I'm wondering if that old dll is even required. Nothing
makes sense, because, apparently their are other uses doing mail merge with
Office 2003 Pro AND they don't have the dll installed.....and it works!

Clean install of Office 2003 or upgrade?
