Thanks Milly, you're a life saver. It now works. You'll
have to excuse my ignorance. But I've never set up Office
Outlook before. (But it would probably have been much
easier if the church secretary hadn't tried setting it up
herself, she's a million miles ahead of me at using
programs, but not at setting them up.) Thanks again.

| Thanks Milly. I don't have an Exchange Server, but this
| office computer is running through a router using DHCP to
| get an internal address, but I didn't think that should
| make any difference. ?? I did try putting in our ISP
| info as pop3.infoserve.net (that's what they require for
| incoming) and that didn't work so tried
| mail.infoserve.net (for outgoing) and it didn't either.
| But this is (I believe) the first start up (still) and
| the display window comes up asking for the 'Microsoft
| Exchange server:' (which is above the box that has the
| missing field) and another box below is has 'Owner' in it
| and above it 'Mailbox'. But it doesn't matter what you
| try, cancel, etc., Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 won't
| start.

open

the
