Using VB with Outlook

[Info]

Hello people.

I'm trying to use VB to send emails. But when I use the Omsg.Send method it
puts the message in the "outbox".

So I then have to go to the outbox and manually send the email.

I need to send the message immediately......anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

Bob

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/sendnow.htm for sample code.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming
issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web
interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Sue, thanks....the code works....but only if Outlook is open....how can I do
this with outlook closed.

You'd need to "open" Outlook. Instantiating an Outlook.Application object
and displaying an Explorer window should be sufficient.

Sue.....my code fails if Outlook is not open....even when I "open" it by
instantiating and object of type outlook.

Are you also displaying an Explorer window, which is the parent object for
CommandBars? It might help if you showed a code snippet.
