Auto send emails using Outlook 2003

[samanw]

Hi I am trying to send email using the Outlook 2003 in my VB6 program. I am getting popup message from the outlook and need to click Yes to allow to send the mail.

I want to automate this process instead of clicking Yes to those messages. Please share your knowledge with me how to answer window messages like this in the VB6 program. Or to change any settings in my Outlook to allow send mails.

I have attached those messages in a work document. Please take a look.

Usually, in MS Office document, there is a property "DisplayAlerts" you can set to false to bypass those little messages, but I don't know if it can work in this case.

i think there was another thread here about the same problem.
and the person said changing the "display alerts" option did
not stop the messages from popping up.

The solution is to go BACK TO Outlook 2000 (if you insist on using Outlook) - it doesn't have the popups

Otherwise get rid of the notion that you can use Outlook in any practical manner -Microsoft has lost the plot on how to handle email hijacking

The good news is that you can ABANDON using Outlook and use SMTP email transmission instead - this does not suffer from popups

Use vbSendmail which is a brilliant piece of work and is quite simple to implement

SMTP does not go through your Outlook so you also don't get your sent box cluttered with all the emails you are sending automatically

If you insist that you need a copy of sent emails then part of your sending procedure will be to send a copy to yourself also

Thanks George1111, Can you explain me how to send through SMTP? Also let me know if I can answer a reply 'Yes' within my program for popup messages. then I can continue my old program to work.

Appreciate the support of you guys and this is a great place to find solution and share the knowledge.

Have a great week end!

You may find a special program which will press the OK button for you automatically - scour the internet using Google

Here's someone cashing in on Microsoft's Outlook Security

SMTP is the way to go

Dim strPath$, OutlookItem, ColAttach
Const olByValue = 1
Set OutlookItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
OutlookItem.To = "youremail@email.com"
OutlookItem.Subject = "This will work!"
OutlookItem.Body = "This works great, no warning message from Outlook!"

strPath = App.Path & "\simple.txt"
ColAttach.Add strPath, olByValue, 1, "File Attachment"

Thanks for the nice example - how can I send the email automatically without previewing it first? I've tried commenting out "Outlookitem.display" but then the email doesn't send at all

thanks
