Hi

Is there a way to e-mail using outlook2002 from within vb.net without
getting the nasty "An application is trying to access you outlook..."
message?

Thanks

you can't prevent the Outlook dialog, but you can write
code to fill it in programmaticall y so it only appears
for an instant. It needs to run in a separate thread but
VB.Net can do that easily enough.

I have code for this

John,
Outlook 2003 has changed the rules such that properly constructed COM Addins
will no longer get the prompt.

http://www.slipstick.com/dev/ol2003problems.htm

I have not tried it, it sounds like Exchange Server has options to control
the prompt on earlier versions of Outlook.

In case you don't have it the following site provides a number of articles
on using Outlook from .NET.

Hope this helps

Why not just use the SmtpMail class and send it through whatever server
Outlook uses?

Keeping a record in outlook is handy for future reference. In this way all
emails sent either from the app or from outlook remain in the same place.

Hi Dermot

That is great. Would it be possible to post the code?

Thanks

Hi Stephen, John,

Or you could do both. Send it with SmtpMail and use Outlook Automation to
stuff a copy in the Sent folder.

If it can be done in one step then obviously it is the preferable choice.
Normally sending an email via outlook will do both in one go.

Hi John,

I agree - one step is better than two steps. But if two steps are needed
to get around that pesky dialogue, then let's go dancing!

Dermot's solution sounds interesting. An alternative is a wonderful little
utility called "Push The Freakin' Button" which can look out for given
dialogues and press a specific button. It's on many download sites.
Unfortunately, the source isn't available for this one either. :-(

Fergus

Fergus,
What John does is his own decision.
But I find it always wrong to fill up an exchange server with mail that is
batch mail.
When you send mail using Outlook then every independent mail message is
stored in the exchange server. The send address is always the same and only
the address from the receiver is different, but that is bad traceable with
only the Exchange server.
I find it much nicer to keep that information in let's say a CRM system by
instance on a SQL server.
Than you only have to keep one mail and the information to whom you did send
that.
The SMTP mail server is not made for nothing.
But it's of course a matter of taste.
You know, some like the tango others the quickstep.
:-)
