[AccessD] Error creating emails in Outlook in Win8

I can add a better error handler (the one in it is pretty generic), but my problem is that I don't get the error on any of my computers.   It's people all over the country, most of whom are computer-illiterate.   But maybe someone would give me the info.


Thanks
Carolyn

  Carolyn,
  Just saw this one. It isn't a solution but adjusting the Error Handler may
  give you some specifics if/when this happens.
