XCLN: Send from Excel/Word Hangs Client Until Message Sent (147145)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Client 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Client 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client 5.0
This article was previously published under Q147145 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Send option in either Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word,
the Microsoft Exchange Client will not be operational until the message is
sent.
CAUSE
These applications use the Simple MAPI command File Send to access mail.
This command is modal and therefore will not allow you to toggle back to
use the Microsoft Exchange Client until the message is sent.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
NOTE: You can create an additional (new) message prior to sending the Word
or Excel document, by choosing New Message on the Compose menu in Microsoft
Exchange.
