Dim mess_body As String
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MailOutLook
.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText

Yeah, you can't do it like this as the SenderEmailAddress is a readonly property.
There may be other ways to do this (I don't think you can specify a sender that isn't a currently created outlook user, though you can create an account and log on to that to send the mail) but in the past I've used an SMTP server to accomplish this (only needed to do it once, years ago![[wink]](/data/assets/smilies/wink.gif "[wink] [wink]")
You also mix up early and late binding in your code. If you're using the Outlook reference you don't need the CreateObject statements (of which you would only need one of each if you're using late binding) and if you're wanting to use late binding then you need to declare the appOutLook etc as Objects.
Hope this helps

Maybe the problem is what i am trying to do i am not being clear about. I have the database open on my machine but instead of the email sending from my personal work email I want the email to go out from an admin email account that i am owner of admin@mycompany.com I also need to BCC a copy to this same address as verification email was sent. that is the only piece i cannot get to work.
As always thanks for you willingness to help a beginner.

Log in to Outlook as that account and you will be able to send from there (as mentioned in my first post).

I realize i can do that but since i am sending email from other admin accounts and bouncing back and forth the time wasted wouldn't gain me anything, What i am doing is changing the from box before i send, i was just wondering if it could be automated a little more.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
