Vista - Want Office/Access 2007 to Send Email via Outlook Express

I have Access code that sends an email. It has always sent the email using
Outlook Express.

But now that I've upgraded to Office 2007 and Vista, the same operation pops
up a message saying I have created any profiles. It then appears to want me
to define email profiles for Office and Outlook.

But the Outlook Express replacement, Microsoft Mail is what I want to use.
And I certainly don't want to have to enter my email info in yet another
place.

Is there no way to have Access send an email via Microsoft Mail rather than
Outlook?

Thanks.

Take a look in Control Panel / Default Programs. You should be able to
change the default mail program there

This is a known "feature" of Outlook in that it takes over as default
whenever you have an update. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13

Go to Control Panel | Default Programs and make WinMail default next time
and that should fix it.
