Associating MS Outlook to Office Documents for email

[mcship]

I have an end-user that is running Windows XP with Office 2000 SP1. She wants to send an excel document in an email, not as an attachment but as the email itself. She can click on the mail icon and it brings up the "To" field, the "subject" field and such but when she hits the send button she being asked to setup her mail settings, just as if she were setting up an Outlook express account. Now she just like everyone else uses MS Outlook, no one uses express and it's not even setup, but it keep defaulting to that program. I know it's Outlook Express because when you click on the "To" it doesn't bring up her MS Outlook. How do I assoicate MS Outlook to be the program, verus Outlook Express?

Thanks..

Usually....
Open Internet Explorer.
Go to Tools-Internet options.
Programs tab.
Make sure Outlook (and not OE) is listed as the email program.

Anne...I acutal did that before I posted and found no change. However I did not restart the machine at that time. I found out later that when the machine was restarted it was fixed.
