Error message when clicking mailto: link
by QW50aHBvcnRlcg » Thu, 06 Dec 2007 01:07:01 GMT
I have a problem with Outlook 2003. I use Excel to keep student rolls and
have created a mailto: link with each student's email address in Excel. When
I click the mailto: link Outlook starts to open up , but then I get a message
that says, "The object could not be found." I cannot get mailto: links to
work in IE either. Same problem. I am running XP Pro SP2 and Office 2003.
I have tried the fix in the KB of going into folder options and making sure
the mailto link actions are correct. They are, and it still doesn't work.
Have also tried to go into internet options, and switch default mail handler
to another and back. Still not working.
Any ideas? I'm about ready to unistall and reinstall Office, but would like
to find another option if anyone has a better solution.

2.Error when I click on mailto: links
Greetings,
I get an error message when I click on any links that use the mailto:
code. Here's the error:
Title: Problem with Shortcut
Text: The amil program was unable to send mail.
I use Windows 98 and Office XP. I use Outlook XP, not Outlook Express
as my default mail app.
I have ensured that Outlook XP is my default e-mail program.
I have also made sure that under Internet Options--> Application, it
says that Outlook is my mail program.
Anything else I can do?

5.Outlook Express launches when clicking mailto: link
Outlook 2003 is my default email reader. (WinXP Pro). When I click a
mailto: link, it lauches Outlook Express (and immediately says "Outlook
Express is not your default email reader, etc)
I have checked Internet Options - Programs. (as a matter of fact, if I
change it to Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo Mail! becomes my default. When I change it
back to Outlook, this bug continues.)
I have checked Add-Remove Programs - Set Program Access and Defaults -
Custom. It's set as "Use my current e-mail program" and I have unchecked
"Enable Access to this program"
The only thing I have not done is uninstall Outlook Express all together.
Any ideas? Tips? Thanks!!!!!!!
