We have 3 Windows 2003 Server running Terminal Server
with Office XP standard (also know as Office 2002). We
are running Exhcange 5.5 sp4 on a seperate NT 4.0 sp6a
server.

Our users no longer have the option "send to Mail
recipient as an attachmnet". No new software has been
installed or changed. The only thing I can think of that
does any updates is the Windows System Update program. It
updates when updates are available. It first started off
for only a few people but as of Monday, No one has the
option except users with administrator login priviliges.

We setup all 3 servers and then copied each users profile
from their previous server (Windows NT Terminal server
4.0) to a new server and setup roaming profiles. Each
user previously was running MS Office 97. We are now
running MS Office XP std.

If I login as administrator or a user with admin
privileges, Word has the option of "send to mail
recipient as attachment". If I login as a standard user
the option is not there.

This all worked until Monday morning. Not sure what might
have changed.

On one of the servers, I logged in as administrator and
the Word send to option was not there. I ran sysedit and
added the MAPIX=1 line, restarted Word and the option was
there. I tried it as a user and it still did not work. I
searched and found that some, but not all users have a
win.ini file in this type of a folder c:\documnets and
settings\user\windows\win.ini, I tried copying the
administrators win.ini file to the replace the user
wini.ini but it still did not help. I did copy the
wini.ini file to the place where their profiles are
stored after logging out. I also renamed their original
win.ini file. Still this did not work for the user.

I also found a win.ini file in the C:\windows directory.
It had not only the MAPI=1 and MAPX=1 but also had the
other lines that MS shows to put in there from their
website. Here is what it has.

[Mail]

MAPI=1

CMC=1

CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll

CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll

MAPIX=1

MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1

OLEMessaging=1

I tried removing everything except MAPI=1 and MAPIX=1 but
it still did not help.

It appears the problem is with the MAPIX=1 statement but,
I have setup new users that did not have a previous
profile and they do not have the send to option in Word
either.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Mike,

Were you ever able to resolve this issue?  We're experiencing the same
thing in our Terminal Server environment.   For us it is something
user specific, OfficeXP specific rather than specific to Word, doesn't
seem to be related to security group membership, not the win.ini file,
not a problem for new users (which is the weirdest part), and not
resolved by deleting/recreating someone's profile.

No, we have not been able to resolve the problem.
We are seeing it in Office XP specific also. I posted my
problem in here and Excel to see if someone knew what to
do. So far no one has been able to help.  We have some
original users that can do this function and others that
can't. Very strange problem.

Mike & John!

I have the same problem with Word and Excel 2000 running
on XP professional and W2k pro clients.
The option has been greyeds out for no reason that we can
find. On day it was Ok. A couple of days later it has been
greyed out.
There is an article in the KB #834008 referring to the
same problem in Office 2003.
Have you found any solution?

this appears to be a problem with domain users with roaming profiles.

In active directory users and computers
open a user account
go to the terminal Services Profile tab
and set the terminal services home directory to:
local path: C:\Documents and Settings\%username

Try putting the users into the administrator's group!
Also click on Tool - Options - General tab and make sure 'send as mai
attachment' is ticked, if it is,untick it and ok it, then go back i
and tick it again!!
Reset the Normal.dot template by searching for it and renaming it t
old, this will then fire up an new template!
Delete the regestry key from regedit its located under 'current user'
software - microsoft - office and depending on what version you ar
running it will state 8.0, 9.0 etc, delete the word entry and clos
regedit, restart word with the new reg key!!

Hope this helps!

It is not greyed out for me. It is not there as an
option. I have not been able to resolve this problem.
