SYMPTOMS

When you click Microsoft Outlook on the Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) menu bar, Microsoft Exchange is started.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Microsoft Office Manager is designed to add the Microsoft Outlook menu item when Microsoft Office Manager detects that the Microsoft Exchange or the Microsoft Outlook email client is installed on the computer.

WORKAROUND

To use a menu item called "Microsoft Exchange" to start Microsoft Exchange, follow these steps:

  1. Click Customize on the Microsoft Office Manager menu.
  2. Click to clear the Microsoft Outlook check box.
  3. Click New. Open the folder that contains Microsoft Exchange and select Microsoft Exchange.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Close the Microsoft Office Manager window.
Microsoft Exchange is started when you click Microsoft Exchange on the Microsoft Office Manager menu.

STATUS

This behavior is by design of Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition.
