Topic: Outlook Web Access Email

[katynewbie]

When I try to reply to en email on this work laptop the part where you type your reply and read the message you are replying to are all blue with a cross in the top left corner. You cannot type in this box. What am I doing wrong?

Is it like this (maybe without the yellow warning at the top)



this - from microsoft

In Microsoft Windows Vista, the Dynamic HTML Editing ActiveX control is being removed from the Internet Explorer browser. As a result, there is functionality missing that Microsoft Exchange 2003 Outlook Web Access relies on. This update replaces that deprecated functionality on the Microsoft Exchange 2003 servers so that Microsoft Exchange 2003 Outlook Web Access continues to function smoothly.

Unfortunately there is a server fix only..So speak to your IT team (slackers - they should be have been on this already!)

You could try updating IE  or using another browser - BUT if you do use say Firefox OWA will look very different and will function differently....

Thanks Nick, just looked it up and I came to this conclusion too, there is a Hotfix and our techie guys should have sorted it, will go in and shout this morning!

Better still get them to update to Exchange 2010 - a tricky little bugger but it is much better...

Just looked at another computer thread and it turns out BarriedaleNick works for a charity, guess what Nick? So do I, want another job? It took our professional guys nearly a week to do the fix required!
