I thought I'd give back the the group by posting how this was resolved.
I followed the advice and de installed outlook express by going to the
control panel/add remove programs/windows components/un check outlook
express/ok
rebooted ( just in case it makes a difference)
tried to send email from outlook 2000 same problem.
RE installed outlook express control panel/add remove programs/windows
components/CHECK outlook express/ok
tried to send email from outlook 2000 same problem.
went to microsoft.com/ie and reinstalled the latest service pack
rebooted
tried to send email from outlook 2000 SUCCESS!!!
I would like to thank all the folks that helped me out and to say that it
takes a special kind of idiot to share DLL's with outlook express AND
outlook 2000.

how do I turn off IFB this is a standalone outlook with no exchange
server.
It's only used to get at a pop3 server at SBCameritech.

First I'd turn off IFB.
Next, you'll need to repair OE, not Outlook. Rename any WAB32.DLL files
and
repair or reinstall OE.

Not at machine right now but the support mode is the default that you
get
when you install Outlook from office 2000 professional.
not using the internet free busy deliberately this just started the
other
day.
Closer, but not close enough.
Which mail support mode?
Why are you using Internet Free/busy?

Post your version.
No current versions of Outlook use the WAB.
Why don't you turn off the update free/busy option?
