There are only two that are affected to this point. To try to make one site the proprietary "owner" of a question. When people need answers, they go to multiple sources. FWIW, i think that rule is counter-productive.
Feel free to delete the entire thread, though i think you have brought it into compliance by posting the links. I don't understand the purpose of this rule, but i am certainly ready to respect it. As an experienced moderator, i'm sure you're aware that few people actually read such rules before becoming aware of them. I understand that is one of the roles of moderators, i.e. Thanks for pointing out the rule about cross-posting. No positive results from these and I'm starting to wonder if there is yet another "known issue" that MS acknowledges and just lets it slide (I have experience with those on the MS Access side, for sure).Īny thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
IV) asked them to try using the same documents (stored on the server) on a different workstation on the same network (haven't heard results from that yet) II) login as admin user and set Outlook to run as admin (that didn't get completely tested because it wouldn't use the current user's mail profile and would only offer to create a new profile and email account for me - i don't have an email account on their system)
NET security update (but no way to know which one(s) since the usual Google searches haven't yielded any resolutions)ī) recent antivirus client (it's Vipre Endpoint Security) change though that should only include new definitions since i haven't pushed a new client version There's a place in Outlook>Options>Trust Center where the user's computer says the antivirus IS "valid", so that seems like a dead end.Ī) recent Windows / Office /. One lead they offer is that some antivirus apps might interfere, especially if Windows/Office thinks the app is not valid or out of date. Not excited about trying this since I have dim hopes about it succeeding in resolving the issue. no joy)Īnother is to uninstall Office, wipe traces of it, and reinstall).
i would like to not either make them admin or change that setting.Īnother option is to do the "online repair" (completed. (not recommended)" but this is disabled since the user is not an admin user. One thing they list as an option is to change the "programmatic access" to "never warn. ) and I have gone through them looking for a solution. There are articles about this on (here's one. "Plain Text" partially works but brings up an Outlook warning from the Trust Center about a program trying to send email. The user is prompted to choose the field containing the email address, a subject line, and the format (HTML or Plain Text).Ĥ) Enter all the required fields and click OK Here's what they do:ġ) create a data source in Excel, including email addresses and other potential merge fieldsĢ) create a new (or use an existing) "master document" in Word and connect it to that data source (I've done this before on other systems and am very comfortable with it)ģ) select Mailings>Finish & Merge>Send Email Messages
It's Office Pro 2013, so Word/Excel/Outlook are all the same version. One of my clients has been using this for years and it stopped working some weeks ago (they couldn't give me a specific date or even a good guess about when exactly).
