VB Send Email - Error

[Dominic_Fichera]

Hey all,

I've tried including the sample script used to send emails with VB into my script, but have come across an error.

In the past, it has always worked, which is great, but for the first time, I'm having problems with it.



So far, I have managed to work out the issue is caused by the script running as admin (99% of the script needs to run as admin, which is why it's currently set to admin), but Outlook running at normal level. If I run Outlook as admin, this resolves the issue, but I was hoping for something that would take into consideration when Outlook isn't run as Admin.

I've found an article on Microsoft.com http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/offi ... a9a9f4a424 which says that instead of just "creating a new object", I could get the script to check if it exists and just run with the already-open Outlook. Do you think this is something that would make a difference in this case?

Thanks for your advice!

Dominic

I don't know why you need to run Outlook as Admin but this does suggest a permissions problem.

I'm not sure if I can offer much help with Outlook/Office installations.

Is there any reason why you need to use Outlook to send emails instead of the built in SMTPSendMail function?

Hey Marcus,

Thanks for your response

The reason I've been using outlook to send emails is because my school provides me an exchange email address, and from my understanding, the SMTP commands won't work with exchange. All good though, I'll have a play around and work something out.

Thank,

Dominic

Have you tried Outlook command-line switches?
