Hello All,
I wasn't sure where to list this so please excuse if I picked the wrong category. I'm trying to get mapi mail inside my fox app to work at my customer's location. It works find on my development machine.....here's the details. I've tried several things and listed them all so please be patient.......

Thanks for any suggestions.

The situation:

xp pro client
win2k server
domain

the client pc has two logon's possible. One is the administrator belonging to the local machine name and the other is the username belonging to the domain.

My first attempt was to run fox.reg looged in as a domain user. This fails because no admin rights to local machine (or so it tells me - could it have meant domain rights here?).

I'm hoping the registry modification(fox.reg) if made as administrator will work also for the user so I give this a try.
I installed it (fox.reg) on local machine logging in as the adminstrator.

I log back in as the user and mapaimail is not working - no messages it simply acts like either mapi is not talking from vfp or the mail program outlook express or eudora is not listening. So I dig deeper and try more.

When I look at the control panel I see the user does in fact have admin rights on the local machine but when I look at the user on the win2k box (domain) they do not have admin rights. Still not working. I read somewhere that rights need to be the same on both the xp and win2k systems, So I change the domain to also give them admin rights by adding them to that group. I log back in as the user and the mapimail mods I've made still don't work. I'm suspecting it's the supervisor / user / domain security issues.

I think I should try to install fox.reg again as the user now that I've changed the domain to recognize the user a an administrator. - nope it states something similar to "already in use". So I'm unsure of what to do here any ideas? I'm stuck.
