Thanking you
Rummy

VB Code:

Private Sub SendMailMessage(DisplayMsg As Boolean, Receiver As String, Optional
    AttachmentPath)
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
    Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
    Dim CallDescription As String
 
' Create the Outlook session.
    Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
 
' Create the message.
    Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
 
    With objOutlookMsg
' Add the To recipient(s) to the message.
        Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(Receiver)
        objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
 
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
        Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("[email protected]")
        objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
 
' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
        .Subject = "Replace this String With your subject Or variable"
 
        .Body = "replace this String With your subject Or variabele"
        .Body = .Body & vbCrLf & "In this manner you can create a body larger than 256 characters"
 
' Add attachments to the message.
        If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
            Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add("c:\program files\myfile.exe")
        End If
 
' Resolve each Recipient's name.
        For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
            objOutlookRecip.Resolve
        Next
 
' Should we display the message before sending?
        If DisplayMsg Then
            .Display
        Else
            .Send
        End If
 
    End With
 
    Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub

Hail all!

Plz, what kind of reference and/or components should I get to make this function work?
I am getting an error in "Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application", telling that its not a user defined type.. =-(

I tryed to put references of outlook and components of mapi, but both didnt helped...

And my component to outlook could not be loaded.. I dont know why.. =-(
Thx guys!

Which version of Outlook have you got on your system? Outlook or Outlook Express??

Adding a reference to Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library works.


If you want to use MAPI instead of Outlook, then you need to add the two MAPI controls (MAPI Session and MAPIMessages) to a form (they are not visible at run time) and then use code like:

VB Code:

MAPISession1.SignOn
        MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
        MAPIMessages1.Compose
        MAPIMessages1.RecipDisplayName = "[email protected]"
        MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject = "My Subject"
        MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "My body"
        MAPIMessages1.ResolveName
        MAPIMessages1.Send
        MAPISession1.SignOff

Mine is outlook express! =-)


I will try this code...

Thanks for your time!

If you prefer, I can email you a sample project I created which uses MAPI contrlo to send email... ;)

hey man!

I tryed the last code with the mapi thing, and it works perfectly!
I just would like to know if theres a way to send attachment with the mapi object...Because the way that I tryed , only worked with the text body of the email.. And I didnt saw any code to the file attachment... =-(

Thx guys!

VB Code:

'*******************************************************************************
' SENDMESSAGETHRUEXPRESS (SUB)
'
' DESCRIPTION:
' ACTUALLY SEND THE EMAIL MESSAGE THRU EXPRESS
'*******************************************************************************
 
Sub SENDMESSAGETHRUEXPRESS(DisplayMsg As Boolean, Optional AttachmentPath)
    
    MAPISession1.SignOn
    
    With Me.MAPIMessages1
        
        .SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
        
        .MsgIndex = -1
        
        .Compose
        
        .MsgSubject = Me.txtSubject
        
        .RecipType = mapToList
        
        .RecipDisplayName = Me.txtAddressTO
        
        .RecipAddress = Me.txtAddressTO
        
        ' SHOW THE ADDRESS BOOK WITH THE SELECTED RECIPIENT(S)
        
        ' 0=NO EDIT FIELDS, 1=TO, 2=(TO AND CC), 3=(TO, CC AND BLIND CC),
        ' 4=ONLY THOSE SUPPORTED BY MESSAGING SYSTEM WILL BE SHOWN
        
        .AddressEditFieldCount = 1
        
        .MsgNoteText = Me.txtMsg
        
        ' ADD ATTACHMENT FILE IF THE LABEL CONTAINS A SELECTED FILE
        
        If Len(Me.lblAttachment.Caption) > 0 And Me.lblAttachment.Caption > " " Then
            
            .AttachmentPosition = 0
            
            .AttachmentName = lblAttachment
            
            .AttachmentPathName = lblAttachment
            
            .AttachmentType = mapEOLE
            
        End If
        
        ' SEND THE EMAIL
        
        .Send
        
    End With
    
    MAPISession1.SignOff
    
End Sub

More than one attachment:

VB Code:

With MAPIMessages1
        .AttachmentIndex = 0
        .AttachmentPosition = 0
        .AttachmentPathName = "c:\temp\test.txt"
        .AttachmentIndex = 1
        .AttachmentPosition = 1
        .AttachmentPathName = "c:\temp\x01.txt"
End With

So did you get it to work?

Sorry for the long time without reply...
I was in the work.... I arrived in my home now....=-)

I will try to use the code, and them I will write here what happened....=-) I will just get a bath and have a dinner..=-)
