Re: Direct Mail Manager??

To get a reliable answer to this question you should probably contact
Microsoft Customer Support - most of the people who answer questions in here
do not work for Microsoft.

I don't use DMM, but as far as I am aware DMM would probably still
/function/ with Office 2000 if you re-installed it. I suspect it would
function incorrectly in some ways. It doesn't appear to have been kept up to
date. There are some old articles in Microsoft's Knowledgebase (
http://support.microsoft.com ) which say that an enhanced version of this
package was available from Envelope Manager Software - see
http://www.envelopemanager.com/ but I have no idea whether they still make
that product or sell something different that does a similar job - and there
are doubtless plenty of other vendors out there with similar products.
