    Resolved [RESOLVED] Using Outlook From VB6 And Changing The From !

    All,

    I have been through the many posts regarding controlling outlook using MAPI (and don't say you didn't warn me but I am stuck with it!). However, I am trying to write a chunk of code that sends an email and all is going well and it does work but that is until I try to change 'From'.

    The application needs to come from a central mailbox, not mine but I can't seem to find anyway of changing it. Anybody got a clue as to how to do this ?

    Cheers

    Not possible using the Outlook Object Model. It would be easier to send the emails from the actual account. You can have your app log on to Outlook using that profile/account. Then just send as usual.
