Hey I have made some macros in calc openoffice and want to send e-mail from the macro, but am stopped by a message that there is no associated e-mail program for the desired action. I have read that it is because Thunderbird is 64 bit and the macro can only communicate with 32 bit, can you change it with an add-on? I could install the 32 bit version, but that would be a bad solution

What you are encountering appears to be a limitation of windows and Microsoft's MAPI implementation.

Hey Matt Sorry for my late reply ;-) But that is not the problem, the machine will probably say this since it runs on windows, but the problem is, I have learned that thunderbird is today 64 bit and before, when I could use it, was on 32 bit and I therefore believe that AOO basic cannot be used for 64 bit in thunderbird, it runs fine on an older machine with 32 bit :-) Can you 'bypass' it in a way for 64 bit
