Question Hi Jim,
When I try to submit a mailform I get a box come up which states:
"The ordinal36 could not be located in the dynamic link library MAPI36.dll"
The heading on this box reads:
"OUTLOOK.EXE - ordinal not found."
Nothing is sent out.
The email client I use is Eudora.
Hope you can help me resolve this problem.

Answer The Mapi32.dll file, which is essential to your mail program, is missing, damaged or has been replaced by new software you installed.
To resolve this issue, search for and rename any extra Mapi32.dll files:
1. Quit all running programs.
2. Click Start on the Windows Taskbar.
3. Point to Find, and then click Files or Folders to search for Mapi32.dll files.
4. Rename any Mapi32.dll files that are not located in the default Windows\System directory.
To do so:
a. Right-click the file name.
b. Click Rename on the shortcut menu.
5. Close the Find dialog box, and then restart Eudora.
If the problem persists, copy a new Mapi32.dll file from your Setup disk to your default Windows\System directory:
1. Quit all running programs.
2. Click Start on the Windows Taskbar, point to Find, click Files or Folders to search for Mapi32.dll, and then rename the file.
3. Change the Look in box on the Find dialog box to point to your Setup disk, then search for the Mapi32.dll file.
4. Copy the Mapi32.dll file to one of the following directories on your computer:
• Windows\System (if you are running Windows 95 or 98)
-or-
• Winnt\System32 (if you are running Windows 2000 or NT)
5. Right-click the Mapi32.dll file on your computer and click Properties.
6. Under Attributes, click to select Archive.
