    [FAQ's: OD] How do I send an email using Outlook?

    Microsoft Office Outlook must be installed on your system in order to automate it using code.

    These are a few code examples (Early Binding) of how to send an email using the Outlook Object Model in VB 6, VB.NET, and C#.

    Outlook 2003 And VB 6 Code Example:

    VB Code:
    1. Option Explicit
    2. 'Add a reference to MS Outlook xx.0 Object Library
    3. Private Sub Command1_Click()
    4.     Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
    5.     Dim oEmail As Outlook.MailItem
    6.     Set oApp = New Outlook.Application
    7.     Set oEmail = oApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    8.     With oEmail
    9.         .To = "meow@example.com"
    10.         .CC = "ruff@example.com"
    11.         .Subject = "Spam - Meow!!!"
    12.         .BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
    13.         .Body = "Blah, blah, blah..."
    14.         .Importance = olImportanceHigh
    15.         .ReadReceiptRequested = True
    16.         .Attachments.Add "C:\Cat.bmp", olByValue
    17.         .Recipients.ResolveAll
    18.         .Save
    19.         .Display 'Show the email message and allow for editing before sending
    20.         '.Send 'You can automatically send the email without displaying it.
    21.     End With
    22.     Set oEmail = Nothing
    23.     oApp.Quit
    24.     Set oApp = Nothing
    25. End Sub
