    I am working with a VB6 application where we already have a functioning version available for our users running on the network. I have added an additional .bas file to allow for NT Authentication, however this is only making Win API calls. I have compiled a new executable, but not created a new project and all appears to run well. I tried running the new application on several of our users and nothing appeared to be abnormal. I have run into a slight error with the last person that I ran the test on though. When I go to a particular section in the application (this only occurs once, the first time the computer has loaded the application) it will try to configure Outlook 2000. What is really odd is that it doesn't use MAPI on the particular form that I am loading at all. In fact there should be no MAPI code at all instantiated during the application run to get to this point where it tries to configure Outlook. Does anyone have any ideas? I am lost in this one. Thanks in advance. :) Nick Parker

        VB used to try to do that to me, just the act of opening it would start configuring Office 2000. Even if I put the CD in it would still prompt for the CD so I just got used to clicking cancel and praying it would go away in 10 minutes :) James Simplicity Rules!

          I had an app that did something similar. I was linking to the mapi.lib because I was using some function (can't remember it now) that didn't have anything to do with sending mail, but everytime I ran that part of the app it asked for a mail client.

            Problem solved, I guess... By uninstalling the application and then reinstalling it the user no longer gets those Outlook 2000 configuration messages. Geez, what a long day. Thanks all. Nick Parker
