Hi Les,

The main list and email list open file, but the dropdown menus (i.e. New...)
and trying to open an email do nothing. There is an error indication at the
bottom left of the screen with the following errors:

Error 1
Line: 15
Char: 30
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: https:// removed>/exchange/info/Inbox/?Cmd=contents

Error 2
Line: 419
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: https:// removed>/exchange/info/Inbox/?Cmd=contents

I have installed: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831464 which I think is
the patch you mention as that seems to be the general advice for this type
of problem. I've also found a reference to a .js file that someone had in
the incorrect lcoation when they had this problem - the file is in the
correct place.

What makes it wierder is that it works fine locally on the server and from
another win2k3 server on the lan, but not from an XP desktop. In both
instances I am connecting to it using HTTPS.

Any further help gratefully appreciated

Nick
