How to get a Dial-up Connection dialog box?
 

I just got Outlook 2003 with new laptop which I carry back and forth to
work. I use the same ISP at both locations, but with different dial-up phone
numbers. When I launch Internet Explorer, I get a "Dial-up Connection"
dialog box that lets me select which phone number to use. I want to get that
same dialog box if I'm not already online and I launch Outlook 2003, but I
can't figure out a way to get Outlook to give it to me. I had Outlook
Express on my old laptop, and it gave me the same dialog box as IE. Is that
function no longer available?

Set that up in Windows, Internet Options, Connections, not Outlook.

Forgot to mention--in your mail acct setup, under More Settings, Connections
tab has more acct connections choices. You might need to set up Dial
whenever...etc.

I find it helpful to configure Outlook to always use the LAN setting
(ToolsE-mail AccountsNext. Select your account, click Change, then More
Settings, and click the Connection tab) or to choose "Connect using Internet
Explorer's or a 3rd party dialer".
