• Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

SUMMARY

If you route a document from Microsoft Excel for Windows version 5.0 by choosing the Add Routing Slip command on the File menu, you may receive an error message if you choose the Exit And Sign Out command in Microsoft Mail before you close Microsoft Excel.

NOTE: Only the Exit And Sign Out command produces the error message. You can choose the Exit command in Microsoft Mail without receiving an error message.

MORE INFORMATION

This error message occurs because, when you route a document, Microsoft Excel links to the dynamic link libraries (DLLs) used by Microsoft Mail to send and receive messages. Microsoft Excel retains the link to the MS Mail DLLs until you do either of the following:

• In Microsoft Excel, choose Exit from the File menu: when you use the Exit command in Microsoft Excel, you will be able to use the Exit And Sign Out command in MS Mail.


-or-


• Use the Visual Basic Application.MailLogoff macro command to force Microsoft Excel to disconnect from the MS Mail DLLs.
  
  NOTE: If you use this command when you have not routed a document or otherwise connected Microsoft Excel to MS Mail, you will receive the error message

  Run-time error '1004':
  MailLogoff method of Application class failed
