Repost: Attachments to Outlook Express possible? - Page 2

Arno R

Hi all,

This is a repost of a message posted at october 6.
The answer I got was about MapiMessages.At tachmentIndex.
I think I need the MSMAPI32.OCX to use this. (I don't have this file on my PC)

My newsaccount wasn't working anymore until yesterday, so I'll try again.

Question is:
I know it is possible to send email with Access, but can one also automate the attachments?
Question has been asked a lot I know...
I've searched Google but *all* answers that work use Outlook or commercial apps?
So I have not been able yet to automate the attachment-issue using Outlook Express.
Any ideas or 'new' insight?
(Using Access '97 or Access 2000)

TIA

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your reply,

BTW, what are your plans for places that have OE removed, or places
that use Groupwise? (OE and Groupwise don't get along all that well!)

To be more specific: All my clients (for this specific app) have 'at least' OE installed.
Some have Outlook or other mail-clients (Eudora is one of them).
I guess they all are MAPI-compliant or not?
So what I really need is a generic MAPI-solution without ocx-controls or dll's
that might not be present at my client's computers.

Hi Lyle,
I guess I owe you an apology. I totally misread your reply!
I am really sorry for that!
Peter and Larry both are teling me that you are right, and you are!
I totally misunderstood your 'guessing'. (I guess I was a bit pissed because my newsserver failed
again)
Again: I am sorry and appreciate your help.

It's not the line-wrap that errors (thanks Peter) but it's probably the fact that I don't fully
understand the code.
So I ask for more explanation. (Hope I am specific enough now)

What did I try?
I pasted the code in a new module. (fixed the line-wrap)
I get an error on the first line with code in a form like:

Sub TestMail()
Class_Initializ e
ToAddressAdd "ad*****@test.n l"
BCCAddressAdd "in**@test. nl"
MessageIs "bla bla" & vbNewLine & "second line here"
SubjectIs "Testmail"
FileAdd "C:\test\test.z ip"
Send
end sub

If I comment-out the first line indeed a mailmessage (with attachment!) shows up in the OE-Outbox,
great!!
But how or when is the Class_Initializ e code used?

Other problems:
When I use the sub again the ToAddress-line and BCCAddress-line are doubled.
ToAddress: ad*****@test.nl ;ad*****@test.n l
BCCAddress: in**@test.nl;in **@test.nl
Also the attachment shows up twice
(or trippled on the third try and so on)
What am I doing wrong ?

Hi Lyle,
This class should send attachments via Outlook Express. But WHY? CDO is
much simpler and much stronger.

I need info for OE because not all of my clients will have the
CDO-library installed.
Or am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks very much for the info but, could you explain a bit more on how
to use this code please?
I guess I start with initializing the class but this immediately
errors?

Should I guess what these errors are?

Hi Lyle,

I just found out what I did wrong and I'm a little embarassed about it...
Its class-code, so I need to paste the code in a class-module and use the class!
Obviously I am not used to class-code ;-)
Anyhow, finally I got it working. I think I need to study more about classes now!

Thanks,
Arno R
