This article was previously published under Q151263 SYMPTOMS
When you use the 32-bit version of Lotus Notes 4.0 or 4.0.2, Field Exchange
(FX) does not work with Microsoft Office 7.0.
CAUSE
Although Microsoft Office 7.0 is a 32-bit program, it includes only the
16-bit versions of the Lotus Notes dynamic link (.dll) files.
The 32-bit version of Lotus Notes 4.0 does not support application
programming interface (API) calls to these 16-bit .dll files. Lotus Notes
4.0 only supports API calls to .dll files that use the same bit version (16-
bit or 32-bit) as Lotus Notes 4.0.
Microsoft Office 97 includes 32-bit .dll files for use with Lotus Notes, so
you can use Field Exchange with Microsoft Office 97.
WORKAROUND
In order to use Lotus Notes 4.0 or 4.0.2 FX with Microsoft Office 7.0, you
must use the 16-bit version of Lotus Notes 4.0 or 4.0.2.
