You receive an unspecified MAPI error message when you send an attachment from Word (293431)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook 2002
- Microsoft Word 2002
This article was previously published under Q293431 SYMPTOMS When you try to send a Word attachment from Word by
clicking Sent To, and then clicking Mail Recipient (as
Attachment) on the File menu, and then you quit Word immediately or Word appears to stop
responding and you close Word, you may receive the following error message:
You Cannot Close Microsoft Word until the Send Mail
command is finished. Switch to the New Message first, and either send or close
the message. If you click OK, you may receive the following error messages:
The object could not be found. Word Cannot send mail because of MAPI failure: "Unspecified
Error". Word then quits without sending the e-mail attachment.
CAUSE This behavior occurs because the Send command was not processed or received by Microsoft Outlook in a
timely manner. WORKAROUND To work around this behavior, restart Word, and then try to
send the attachment again.
If you receive only the first error
message referenced in the "Symptoms" section of this article, a message appears
with your attachment. Either close the message and start over, or send the
message and quit Word.
