>does anyone know how to accomplish this in Notes? I've tried the same technique and I know that it doesn't work. Also for some reason, I get prompted now and again to re-supply the password. It's made me so angry that I've forgotten to note (no pun intended) the circumstances.

I've yet to find a way. I was hoping to let users store their PW's in a VFP table and use that information in the various e-mail client, but AFAIK you can't in Notes.


>The rest of the interface is IMO counter-intuitive on a number of fronts. I know I can hook Outlook into it once it's installed, but when I try to do so, I get a fatal exception caused by MAPISP32.EXE. I've already tried the repair option from the setup. Do I have to un-install then re-install in order to get this work? I've searched the April MSDN KB and don't find anything that applies.

>Lastly, when I sent a test message to myself yesterday, it failed to use my new mail notification sound (I got a ding rather than Clint Eastwood saying, "Go ahead! Make my day."< g >) Further, it blew out everything except the volume control in the system tray (Task Scheduler, Matrox QuickDesk, Local SQL Server). I'm very tempted to go from Win98SE to Win2KPro, but the fact that almost all my users are in Win95B, causes me a great deal of hesitation. Any thoughts here?

I have tried using the Outlook "Notes provider" or whatever its called. All I had were problems including BSOD's. Outlook may or may not notify you of new mail in the Notes mailbox depending on its mood and the lunar cycle.

I finally uninstalled the *$&$ thing and leave both Notes and Outlook open.
