XP with Access 97 won't select Eudora

[Richard Cleaveland]

We have an Access 97 application which uses the DoCmd.SendObject method to
send emails when a command button is activated. Our standard email client
is Eudora.

On all but one machine we have no trouble establishing Eudora as the default
email client and having it work with Access. This other machine is a real
problem and I'm soliciting suggestions.

With the application open, and Internet explorer also open, if a "mailto" is
selected in IE the client chosen is Eudora, showing that we have
successfully identified Eudora as the default email client. However if we
click on the command button in the Access application, Outlook is brought
up, not Eudora.

The operating system is XP, and there are two users identified, one user
wants Outlook, the other user (the one with the Access application) wants
Eudora.

Ideas?

You may want to try Microsoft.Public.Access.Setupconfig.
