Jul 26th, 1999, 02:29 AM
I've got an Access 97 database that I have created an automation object through Outlook in order to have an automatic email system to the people in the database.

My problem is the following: I want to specify an alias "from" field. I don't want to show it coming from the user's email, but instead I want it to look like it came from a general box at my company (info@....) That way when the recipient clicks reply, any responses will get routed to the general box rather than the user.

BTW: I have to use an outside email source (not Access's email function) because I need to attach outside files... not just reports etc from within Access.

I know Access's function allows you to put in an alias. Is there a way to do this with Outlook as well?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if you can do that...Or how to do it if you can.

My approach for this was just to have my company set up a dummy e-mail account and have it opened as the sender...

I like it, and it keeps me from getting all the nasty e-mails back!!
