email from acces 1

[mikeba1]

i have set up my db to output emails via outlook, all works fine.
Is there any way i can hide the senders id,.
The system sends multiple emails which should not be responded to.

Thanks

I think for that to work, you'll have to handle it on an Exchange server. I don't think you can do that from Access sending email via Outlook only... there should be some method on the Exchange server directly to handle such needs. I know our company has some email addresses setup that way where I work, but I don't think it's done directly through the Outlook desktop application. Unfortunately, I've not had any need, myself, to dig in and find out the how/what/why of it all.

'Course, I could be totally wrong - it may be possible... just trying to think of how it would be..

Could you send them through SMTP instead? this way you can configure the headers appropriately - from address, subject line etc.

A short note on this thread.
I used the code on my own pc and all was well.
However on the clients site the recipient of the email showed 'unknownsender' as the source.
I changed the code from objmessage.sender to objmessage.from and this worked.
