True enough that "active" emails are annoying sometimes but some people like
them and that is why I am trying to get them working.
I use native Outlook, not Word. I have tried to put the sound file, along
with the associated *.html and image file, in the following locations:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\STATIONERY
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\( my username )\APPLICATION
DATA\MICROSOFT\STATIONERY
( Also, both of the above paths with D:\ substituted because that is the
actual location of the XP installation. The recipient's installation is on
C:\. )
No matter where I put them on my machine they work when I send a test email
to myself. No matter where I put them on my machine they DON'T work on the
recipients computer.
Yes, I have verified that their HTML settings in their Outlook installation
are correct.
However, you mentioned "scripting, etc. turned off." Where would that
setting be in Outlook?
Also, the scripting is obviously working because the scrolling border does
work on the recipient's computer. In addition, in reading the *.html file
for the associated scrolling border and sound file I see that the sound file
is called before scripting even starts. There is no mention of the sound
file in the script. Scripting is used only for the scrolling border. The
scrolling border works as advertised. The sound file does not. I am
assuming that the sound file, when it arrives at the destination, is not
being copied to the correct folder on the recipient's computer so I guess my
question really is, "How do I get it to copy to the correct destination
folder on the recipient's end? Also, what should the correct destination
folder be?"
