Problem with SendObject using Outlook Express

[Ruth Isaacs]

Hello All

I am using Windows2000 Professional, Access97, and Outlook Express 6.

When I use the SendObject macro command from access, before the email is
sent I get an Outlook Express pop-up window that contains

"A program is attempting to send the following email message on your
behalf"
and a 'To' and a 'Subject' box (the 'To' box is empty, although the
destination email address is provided by the access macro command)
and "Would you like to send this message?"
The options are Send and Do Not Send.

If I click send the email is sent successfully, but I would rather prevent
this message from appearing. I have looked through Tools>Options in Outlook
Express but cannot find anything relevant.

Hope smeone can help.
Many thanks
Leslie Isaacs

Look on the Security tab under Tools | Options on the menu bar. There should
be a checkbox labelled "Warn me when other applications try to send mail as
me" that needs to be unchecked.

Is it possible to have recipient email address at run time?
Is it possible to set a schedule job like send object 17:00 every day?
May I set the option off from Microsoft outlook?

Your information is great appreciated

I don't understand the question.

Is it possible to set a schedule job like send object 17:00 every day?

Not in OE.

May I set the option off from Microsoft outlook?

I don't understand this one either.

Thanks for the information,

1. When I create a sendObject to email somebody, I need fill in the email
address. Can I use the data in my database at run time?
2.How about in create a job schedule to run a macro at a specific time?

3. Are there any option to set to avoid message box from Microsoft Outlook,
if I sent a send Object from Access>

Thanks again,

Souris,

1) That's up to your programming skill. Depending on the programming language you are
using, check with that newsgroup and how to access your database.

2) Once you create a program, you can use the scheduler to run the program.

3) Assuming that you mean Outlook Express and not Outlook (which is an entirely different
program), then see:
OLEXP: Using Virus Protection Features in OLEXP 6 and SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291387
regarding the security settings.

I am having the same issue with Access 2002, However there is no such option
under tools. Is there someplace else to set this parameter so that it does
not display the message that Ruth was getting?

The setting is in Outlook Express version 6 at Tools, Options, Security.

You posted in the OE version 5 newsgroup. Are you running version 5? If so, you should
not get that message. Or did you at one time upgrade to version 6 then uninstall back to
version 5? If so, then parts of version 6 may still be installed. In that case it would
be best to upgrade back to IE6 and OE6.
