Way to Specify Profile for Outlook ?

[Tom Glasser]

I have the following code in my Access application:

Dim OutApp As Outlook.Applica tion
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailIte m

Set OutApp = CreateObject("O utlook.Applicat ion")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateIt em(olMailItem)

Then later in the code, I use 'With OutMail' to send emails.

Is there a way within the VB code to specifiy the Outlook profile to use ?
(My app needs to run unattended and I can't have Outlook prompting
for the profile to use.)

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
This is a .NET newsgroup, not Access nor VB6.

To answer your question, the Namespace.Logon method allows you to specify
the profile to use:

Something like (untested):

Dim OutApp As Outlook.Applica tion
Dim OutNS As Outlook.NameSpa ce
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailIte m

Set OutApp = CreateObject("O utlook.Applicat ion")

Set OutNS = OutApp.GetNames pace("MAPI")
OutNS.Logon "My Profile"

Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateIt em(olMailItem)

NameSpace.Logon has some optional parameters to specify password, UI, & new
Session...

Hope this helps
Jay
