VB6 - Read Current Outlook Profile Name

[RobDog888]

Outlook profile info is not accessable using the Outlook Object
Model, but using CDO it is possible (without incurring any security popups!).

Option Explicit
'Add a reference to Microsoft CDO 1.21 Type Library
'If you do not have it installed on your system you can install it 
'from your Office CD.
'Also, Outlook needs to be running first!!!
Private Function GetCurrentProfileName() As String
 
    Dim oSession As MAPI.Session
    
    Set oSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
    oSession.Logon "", "", False, False
    GetCurrentProfileName = oSession.Name
    oSession.Logoff
    Set oSession = Nothing
 
End Function
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    MsgBox "Current Outlook Profile = " & GetCurrentProfileName, vbOkOnly + vbInformation
End Sub
