Using Send Command in 16-Bit Program Starts Microsoft Exchange (141386)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q141386 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Send command in a 16-bit program, Microsoft Exchange may
be started instead of the 16-bit mail program installed on your computer.
CAUSE
The Send command is a Simple MAPI function. All 16-bit programs use
Mapi.dll for Simple MAPI. When you install Microsoft Exchange, Setup
installs the Windows 95 version of the Mapi.dll file. When a 16-bit
program calls Mapi.dll, Mapi.dll calls Microsoft Exchange.
RESOLUTION
To use the Send command in a 16-bit program with the 16-bit mail program
installed on your computer, replace the Windows 95 version of the Mapi.dll
file with the 16-bit mail program's version. Note that reinstalling the
16-bit mail program does not resolve the issue because the Windows 95
version of the Mapi.dll file is newer and is not replaced.
To replace the Windows 95 version of the Mapi.dll file, follow these
steps:
- Rename the Mapi.dll file in the Windows\System folder to Mapi.w95.
NOTE: The Windows 95 version of the Mapi.dll file is 431K in size
with a date of 7/11/95.
- Obtain a copy of the 16-bit mail program's version of the Mapi.dll
file and copy it to the Windows\System folder.
