My send to in excel/word does not offer send as attachment

I just had my computer worked on for some bugs. When I rec'd it back I no
longer have the option to send an excel worksheet to a receiptent as an
attachment. Used to do it from excel. My co-worker also had his worked on
and has the same problem. Are we missing something or where did it go. Can
we get it back....
Have XP Professional, Office 2003, Updated to XPSP 2,
use outlook express as our mail

Hi Mstink. Is it that the mail to icon is missing from the standard toolbar?
I have Excel 2003 and was able to go to Tools>Customize>Commands Tab>File
and scroll down to Mail To Recipient (As Attachment) and place it on the
toolbar.

Well, I found it did what you said but it is shaded and will not work when I
click on it to send the document. This is such a pain I don't understand why
it disappered to begin with when they worked on my computer...any ideas...

sorry don't mean to keep bothering you but I can see it with the other send
to options....but, it is grayed out where you can not use it. Now is it
possible we are missing something in our system files? Or a setting is not
ticked somewhere. I know there is a logical answer just not that good to
figure out this type of stuff...

thanks somuch for this site...I followed the insturctions for adding to the
regedit and it now works. So, for some reason we were missing somethings.
Not sure why but all is well now. Thanks for all the help as I had been the
last few days trying to find the answer myself but wasn't typing in the right
words I guess.
for now so long.....thanks to all the great people who help with this stuff.

Your welcome Mstink. Try using the "search for" dialog box to see if your
question has already been answered in another post. It really works well.
Good luck with Excel. I learn something new every day in these sessions.

I did do that....several times but what I was looking for never came up.
That is why I finally asked. When you say sessions do you just read for fun
or is this part of something you do as a hobby. Guess I need to begin a new
hobby. Anything to learn more about how all this works and to be able to
help others around the office with gliches.

I work in an office also. Quite often things get slow - all the required
work is done - so in free time I visit this forum. I take a look every day,
and, on rare occasions, am able to provide some assistance. It makes me feel
good and I like being associated with Excel users.

You go guy.....what a terrific idea. Think I will start visitng forums on a
daily basis. I know when I need to try and fix something I look for good
forums and have never been disappointed. If I could be whatever I wanted
think it would be able to stay at home (with lots of loot in the bank) and
just hang out at forumns to learn and to help others.
Have a terrific rest of the week and I myself consider you one of the Excel
guys.
