Setting Outlook to use cached mode
You might end up sending an email from CCMDB.accdb from a location where you might not have network cable or wifi.
When you do, CCMDB.accdb will hang up when you try to generate a colour.
To make sure you can generate emails while off-line, follow these steps. You will need to do this the first time you use a laptop where you have not done this yet.
- Click the “file” tab in Outlook (see red circle in screen shot below)
- Click the “Account Settings” button, then "Account Settings"
- Click "Change..."
- Make sure that "Use Cached Exchange Mode" is checked
- Click "Next", then "Finish"
- you may now need to wait for Outlook to set up the data it needs to run off the network
- Click "Close"
After this you should be able to generate and send emails even when not connected to the network. They will be processed when Outlook next has a network connection.
The steps also make available the little green and red icon below in the purple circle. You should not have to do anything with that, just FYI.
