Nope, you have to close Exchange (or Outlook) and reconnect
selecting the appropriate method. (standard or remote)

| 1031.2 | How to force Exchange to 'ask'??? | USPS::FPRUSS | Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347 | Mon May 12 1997 04:21 | 18 |
| I used to be quite happy choosing whether to work connected or work
off-line when starting Exchange.
For some reason, Exchange has stopped asking! I still have Exchange
set to ask for connection type on start-up, but it won't and I always
have to "work off line".
This is only the case on my HiNote, my Desktop still asks. As far as
I can tell the settings are the same on both. (My Desktop is at a home
office, so it is dial in for either case...)
Anybody seen/solved this? It is a state that my HiNote has entered in
the past, and it has resolved itself inexplicably before, but just as
inexplicably in came back and seems unusually persistent, and annoying,
this time.

InBox - Properties - General - Exchange Server - Properties -
General
and make sure that the "choose connection type" box is
checked.

| 1031.4 | That is the problem | USPS::FPRUSS | Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347 | Mon May 12 1997 06:45 | 3 |
| It is, but I still do not get to choose.
I just get dumped into off-line mode!

| 1031.5 | Can you actually access the Exchange Server ? | FLASK2::SYSTEM | Nigel Bridport @REO | Mon May 12 1997 07:58 | 10 |
|
Are you sure that you can actually connect to the Exchange Server ?
i.e. can you ping it from your client machine. It seems that if you
have the connection type box ticked but Exchange cannot connect to the
server, Exchange is 'intelligent' enough to know that you only have
one choice and that is to start you in 'offline' mode, hence it
doesn't ask you the question.

| 1031.6 | Do you have AltaVista Search My Computer installed? | 16.201.208.203::Tapola | Seppo TAPOLA -- CCS Client Services | Mon May 12 1997 08:50 | 20 |
| I don't know if my observation is relevant to the problem you are
describing, but here we go.
I noticed similar behaviour (Exchange not asking the type of
connectivity: Connected/Off-line) after I installed AltaVista
Search My Computer on my laptop. (Wonderfull tool, btw)
Any time I now try to start Exchange with AltaVista Query Dispatcher
active Exchange skips the choice of connectivity. Same happends
if AltaVista Indexer is running. It seems that these AltaVista tools
somehow 'lock' the mailboxes so that Exchange doesn't have any
other choice than Off-line.
Perhaps someone with more indepth technical understanding could
elaborate on this and explain why this happends? The obvious
workaround for me has been to start Exchange before any AltaVista
tools.

| 1031.7 | BINGO! | USPS::FPRUSS | Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347 | Mon May 12 1997 12:53 | 5 |
| We have a winner. AltaVista SMC was the culprit.
Whodda thunk it?

| 1031.8 | MAPI related? | USPS::FPRUSS | Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347 | Mon May 12 1997 13:24 | 11 |
| I'll go out on a limb and suggest that this is a 'MAPI thing'.
Presumably AVSMC uses MAPI when searching your Exchange message store.
When these guys are running, Exchange assumes you have already "chosen"
your connection type (off-line) because AVSMC has already loaded the
relevant DLL.
If this is the case, is there anything that the AVSMC developer's could
do about this problem?
