    Angry Using MS Outlook to Send email programmatically

    How to change the "From" address while others view the mail. I used the following code,

    Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set olMessage = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    lMessage.Importance = olImportanceHigh
    olMessage.To = Trim(txtTo)
    olMessage.cc = Trim(txtCC)
    olMessage.Subject = Trim(txtSubject)
    olMessage.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
    olMessage.HTMLBody = Trim(lblHTMLBody)
    olMessage.Send

    Is their is any way to display a different label other than my email address while others view my email.

    The From property is read only and cant be changed unless you have a delegate email account and then it will still show as "... On Behalf Of ..."

    Why do you need to change the From property?

    My program sends an automated email to a group everyday 3PM. The program is running from my desktop. I want to hide my email address.

    Create another email account on your Exchange server and send it from there. Give the account a generic name like "Group Manager" etc.
