Is there any way of preventing Outlook Express dial up panel from frequently
reappearing when using other applications (WP, Excel etc) and blocking all further work until cancelled? |

That's happening because several things:
1) You have Outlook Express open 2) You have set Tools, Options, General, Check for new messages every xx minutes 3) You do not currently have an open connection to the Internet 4) In Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Connection you have told OE to always connect using a dial up connection 5) OE is not set to Work Offline (file menu) Eliminate one or more of those to eliminate your problem -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "TonyM" wrote in message ...
