Q129133: XCLN: Can’t Switch from Message Back to Address Book

Article: Q129133
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): WINDOWS:4.0,5.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbusage

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you compose a new message, you cannot select a name from the address book,
choose the Compose New Message button, and then move back to the address book to
select more names.

CAUSE
=====

This operation is by design. The dialog box is modal in nature; therefore, it
requires completion of the action--in this case, selection of the Send
button--before any other operation can be taken.
