can I use outlook express instead of outlook?

[newnoviceuser]

here is the code im using
Sub email()
Dim TextLine
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Open "c:\report.txt" For Input As #1


Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MailOutLook
.To = "topdog@colla.com"
.Subject = "Testing"
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, TextLine
.body = .body & TextLine & vbCrLf
Wend

.Send
End With
Close #1

End Sub

it works good except i have a problem with outlook i can not seem to fix on some of my computers and outlook express works on all of them. is there anyway i can get this to work with outlook express instead??

I suggest doing a search for Outlook Express Object Model.

There are several references that might be helpful to you, but I cannot post them because of the policies of this board.

I looked at the site policies again, and I think I can suggest that you visit this page, which offers a free download of code:

I hope this helps.

newnoviceuser, isn't as easy as setting your default email server to Outlook express?
It worked for me using same code as I always used.
