Cannot send tb email from within excel

more options

Just upgraded to TB 115.0.1 and am having trouble sending a spreadsheet from within excel. I get "General mail failure. Quit Microsoft Office Excel, restart the mail system, and try again."

I have re-installed TB, restarted excel with no success. I have also checked the registry and the thunderbird keys seem to be correct.

Help please.

Thanks

Don

Are your Office 2007 apps 32 or 64 bit? If they're 32-bit, TB will have to also be 32-bit for sending from the app through TB to work. If you need the 32-bit version, it's here.

Also, if I try using word, I get Logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book. Error code: " Unspecified error"

Last time I checked, ALL of Microsoft office was hard coded to require you to use Outlook. But as I have not used Microsoft Office or any other Microsoft product but Windows for a number of years my information might be out of date.

This is office 2007 and I have always been able to send mail from within excel and word to my default mail client (TB).

Thank you. 32 bit TB works.
