Al the clients has Outlook 2003 installed and it is their default mailclient.
You say, local mapi profiles? How do I use that and check that settings.
Al the clients are domain members and has outlook installed from the network
based installation.
Al clients was formated and reinstalled after the new server was in place,
so al SP and upgrades are installed.
Everything work perfectly, accept the function they want the most. To
automaticly mail their orders as pdf-attachments.

As they are al domain users, they dont have admin rights. I had an idea that
this could be the problem. That the econimic system required admin rights to
creat the pdf. Can this be the problem?
