Making GW a choice in File SendTo 1

[annacady]

When you Right Click on a file you can choose File Sendto. I have added the path c:\novell\groupwise\grpwise.exe to that list. The GW client opens just fine, but I would like it to open a new mail. Does anyone know what needs to be added to this path so that it goes all the way to a new mail?

IN
C:\Documents and Settings\User\SendTo

Create a new shortcut call Groupwise Recipient
target is: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\GWSHLSND.EXE"

Hey guys. Sorry but that hasn't worked for me.

I get the following error when I try to send frm any Office XP application.

I have created the shortcut as you suggested but to no avail. Please help!? Any Ideas?

Control panel, Mail
you should see the Profile option.
Its a real pain having GW and outlook on the same box.
have to designate a default profile (mapi handler)

You need to make sure that Word and IE are picking up GW also. Here is the method I use to have GW be the mapi default mail:

1. Make File Sendto Work with Office:
Uninstall GW
Uninstall Windows Messaging (if possible; if not, rename mapi32.dll to old)
Run the GW Registry cleaner
Reboot the machine
Reinistall GW (first it should install WM, then it will force a reboot) then finish the GW install

Now Check to see if Word will pick up GW. In Word click on File Sendto and it should bring up a GW new mail with the Word document as an attachment.

If it does not work at this point check the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{00020D31-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32 In most cases it shows either exchng32.exe or Outlook.exe. Change it to read the full path to the grpwise.exe, with parameters /mf /cm. Usually "c:\novell\groupwise\grpwise.exe /mf /cm" (note space before/mf and space before /cm

Before starting GroupWise, delete the file frmcache.dat (do a search or look in the windows directory under the forms folder). The frmcache.dat will be automatically rebuilt. If it does not rebuild itself, go to Control Panel, Mail. Remove all books. Then add back the 3 GW address books:
Novell GroupWise Address Book
Novell GroupWise Message Store
Novell Personal GroupWise Address Book

When adding the Novell GroupWise Message Store it will ask for the users name (last#fir) and the path to the GW executable (usually C:\Novell\GroupWise\grpwise.exe)

This should rebuild the frmcache.dat also. Or get a copy from a workstation you know is working fine and copy it to the Windows/Forms folder.

2. Make sure IE File Send to is working. If it is not working make it work by going to My Computer Tools Folder Options File Types
Go to “N/A” extensions, select the “URL:Mailto Protocol”
Click the advanced button, and click edit.

Action: open
Application used to perform action: C:\Novell\GroupWise\GRPWISE.EXE /ddeex /bl

DDE Message:
NewMail()TextSetSubject("%1")FocusSet(9)SelectRightWord()Delete()Delete()SelectDown()EditCut()FocusSet(0)EditPaste()FocusSet(9)

Application: GroupWise

Topic: Command

Now apply the fix that George Walkey so graciously provided
