Excel: OPEN.MAIL(?) Returns "Error in Formula"

Article ID: Q48168

SUMMARY

Page 255 of the "Microsoft Excel Functions and Macros" version 2.2 manual incorrectly states that OPEN.MAIL(?) is the equivalent of choosing Open Mail from the File menu. This incorrect instruction results in an "Error in Formula" message.

The correct format for the interactive command is OPEN.MAIL?(), which displays the Open Mail dialog box.
