Get SMTP Server from Outlook

[Greg Lovern]

I have an Excel VBA macro that sends mail using CDO. Works fine, but
users have to enter their SMTP Server in a designated cell.

Most of the users are using Outlook. Can I get the SMTP Server name
from Outlook by automating Outlook?


Thanks,

Greg

It's in the registry. For Outlook 2003 e.g. it's:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\[Profile]\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\

In the subkeys you have to search for the specific account name and read the
SMTP Server property.

Or you can do that using Redemption: RDOPOP3Account.SMTP_Server -
