The problem starts with using Excel 2000 with Outlook XP.
When you use the button in Excel to e-mail your workbook
or sheet you have two options. The first option is to
send the entire workbook as an attachment to an e-mail
message. I have NO problem using that. The second option
to send the current sheet as the body of an e-mail
message. It does not work with Outlook XP, I get the
follow error message.

Microsoft Excel

! Excel could not start the e-mail program.

Check your network connection. Make sure Office is
installed correctly. Your e-mail program is set up
correctly, and you can connect your e-mail server.

I have no network connection problem nor is there
anything wrong with the install of the program. So those
suggestions made in the error message are not relevant to
the problem.

Can anyone help fix?

Other notes to add all service packs with both version of
Office are installed. Plus I am using Microsoft Windows
XP Professional with all service packs installed. We had
the same problem with a computer that has Windows 2000
Professional installed on it to.
