Any reason why I cannot receive or send emails in Outlook express.

I continue to get an error message when trying to send or receive an email
through outlook express. Server insists it is my problem in Outlook but it
worked when I had another server.

Hi Pam,

This newsgroup is for questions & answers related to Microsoft Access, the database software. It
is not for questions that pertain to other software products, such as Outlook or Outlook Express.

I'd try contacting the technical support people at your internet service provider (ISP) for
additional help. They likely have a web page that includes the required configuration.

Microsoft's confusing Help system has misled you into posting this
Outlook question in a newsgroup for a different program, Microsoft
Access. Please scroll down the list of newsgroups and post in an
appropriate microsoft.public.outlook newsgroup.

It is not necessarily so that this is not an Access issue. I have a
database program that
e-mails reports from one of its forms. The command to send such a report is
a one
liner such as
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, acFormatRTF, stEMail, , ,
stSubject, stMes
DoCmd.SendObject [objecttype][, objectname][, outputformat][, to][, cc][,
bcc][, subject][, messagetext][, editmessage][, templatefile]

When I use this code, I get error messages about half the time. There is no
configurationIt is not necessarily so that this is not an Access issue. I

configuration that fixes it. The message goes through anyway, so I have
lived
with it. This is indeed a basic bug in the Access program as it interfaces
with
one's e-mail program.

Dr. Warren,

If the original poster was having a problem using Outlook Express with an Access database, then
it would be appropriate for her to state this fact. She would likely get the help she needed if
that was the case.

As for the basic bug that you claim---not so fast. There could be several possible causes. What
is the exact text of the error messages that you are getting? Also, which version of Access are
you using (97, 2000, 2002, 2003) and what is the service-pack level that you have (open Access
and click on Help > About Microsoft Access for this information). Which OP (operating system),
and what is the service-pack level of your OP? There may very well be a solution to your
DoCmd.SendObject woes.
