PRB: Send Does Not Work Under Windows 95 or Windows NT

 Last reviewed: August 24, 1995
Article ID: Q135521
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

If 16-bit Microsoft Mail is used on a 32-bit operating system such as Windows 95 or Windows NT, various MAPI errors occur when trying to use the File Send Command in Visual FoxPro. These same errors also occur when using the MAPIsession and MAPImessage OLE controls from within a Visual FoxPro Application.

CAUSE

MAPI is finding the 32-bit version of MAPI.DLL and trying to load the 32-bit mail client software. When using a MAPI session and message OLE controls under Windows 95 or Windows NT, you must use the 32-bit mail client that is supplied with these products.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Remove exchange (Windows 95) or the 32-bit version of Microsoft Mail (Windows NT) from the computer.

  2. Install the 16-bit version of Microsoft Mail.

  3. Start Visual FoxPro.

  4. On the File menu, click Send.
