Outlook 2007 bug cant access Drafts when new message window openMorning,
A user has just raised a question about outlook 2007 not allowing her to access the draft emails, thought this was odd so i went round to have a look to see what was happening. She was right clicking a file, Send To ... Mail recipient This opens a new email message in Plain text and attaches the file, she then adds an additional file via the usual attach method and then wants to open her draft folder and copy the contents of the email in her drafts to the email she is currently using. However Outlook wont set focus to the main window and will not click and activate the draft folder. For a work around we restarted outlook opened the draft and copied the content of the Email to the clipboard then went through what she was doing and she was able to send her email. Not content on that as a solution i went back to my desk and tried it on mine and found i to could not follow the same process that she was doing. After some more playin around i noticed that if you open a new email and attach the files from there you can still access the emails / drafts / sent items etc Has anyone else come across this? -- mdlister No, bug but a limitation. That is because the Send To command initiates
SimpleMAPI which only loads a stub of Outlook and launches a modal form instead of a modeless form. This means that the form must be completed before the application underneath the form can be used again. -- Show quoteHide quoteRobert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "mdlister" <mdlister.4003***@outlookbanter.com> wrote in message news:mdlister.4003cee@outlookbanter.com... > > Morning, > > A user has just raised a question about outlook 2007 not allowing her > to access the draft emails, thought this was odd so i went round to > have a look to see what was happening. > > She was right clicking a file, Send To ...
