Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63562
OOo File\Send\"Document as email" displays Outlook "Choose profile" eventhough Outlook is running already.
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:31:14 UTC
When sending file from any OOo application I get Outlook's "Choose profile" eventhough Outlook is running already (and thus profile is selected already). Repro steps: 1. Make sure Outlook (not Outlook Express) is configured on computer and start Outlook. 2. Open Excel|Wor|PowerPoint and enter random data. Click File\Send To\Mail Recipient (As attachment). Note how new message composition window is displayed. 3. Start Writer, type random text, click File\Send\"Document as E-mail". Observe dialog simillar to attached screenshot. Expected result - do not ask to choose profile.

@ hi: please have a look

Which Outlook you use. I could not reproduce it with Outlook beta 2007. And what about Outlook Express?
hi, I use Outlook 2003. I just found that you have to have more than one profile for this dialog to pop up. Outlook Express is not relevant because it does not have concept of profile.
HI->CD: Unfortunately I have not Outlook 2003. But as I wrote. it is not reproducible for me with Outlook 2007 Beta where I've 2 profiles. Please have a look.
cd->obr: Could you please have a look. I just use the XSystemShell::Execute.
Re-assigning to our Windows expert.
Just wanted to add, that in Control Panel, Mail, Show Profiles I have "Prompt for a profile to be used" set.
@kapalagin: Currently I'm not able to evaluate this because I've no Outlook 2003. But regarding your last comment - did you try what happens when you change the setting to choose a profile in control panel ? For me it looks like "works as expected".
hro, if I set it to "Always use this profile" then OO does not bring "Choose profile" dialog. But then I loose ability to easily select the profile when Outlook starts. I would like to stress that with "Prompt for a profile to be used" AND Outlook already running, neither when sending from Explorer not from competing applications I get "choose profile". Very important detail here is that Outlook is running alerady, thus profile chosen. I can provide Remote Desktop access to Windows installation, which exhibits this behavior, so that you can check if I am doing something wrong, use some debug software etc. Drop me a message at kpalagin@yahoo.com and I will supply details (IP, username/pwd). In the mean time I will try the same with Outlook 2007. Thanks a lot for your attention.

Hi hro, I got the same problem using OOo2.2 and Outlook 2000... At the moment we need to use Outlook 2000 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003... Every time we want to send a document out of OOo Outlook asks us which profile to use, even if only one profile exists and/or Outlook is already running...
Sorry, no time to fix this in 2.x time frame.
cd: Please take over.
