Hey Wizbang, thanks for your reply. The code you referenced was one of many samples I have tried to no avail. I must admit to being a "babe in the woods" on this email thing, so please excuse my ignorance.
With regard to your code sample, I made 2 assumptions, ran the code and got the following error:
I am not sure if you can find many examples that will use Outlook Express.
In my understanding, Microsoft would prefer us to code for Outlook rather than Outlook Express. I looked myself for samples and couldn't locate any.
In one of my apps, I gave the choice to the user to either use Outlook if it was detected on their system or use an smtp based routine to send email.
I would like to add coding to use Netscape Messenger as well, but again, not many samples lying around...
The only time that Outlook Express is invoked is when I use the ShellExecute command with a mailto address, which for some reason, starts up OE, even though it is not set as primary email client.
Special thanks to Lothar "the Great" Haensler, Chris Eastwood , dr_Michael, ClearCode, Iouri and
all the other wonderful people who made and make Codeguru a great place.
Come back soon, you Gurus.
First off, I never cease to be amazed at how eager most people here are to help. Rekindles one's confidence in the human spirit.
Two things:
1) WizBang - I ashamedly admit I don't know how to determine my server in Outlook Express; poked around Tools, Options, etc. before my last post to you, but didn't see anything specifically labeled 'server'
2) Cimperiali - thanks much for your efforts, but MOMMA MIA ! now I'm getting error messages in Italian - an awesome, romantic language, to be sure, but I'm having a tough time solving the messages in my native tongue!
