MAPI Session object not available

[webmonkey323]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple VB6 email application but am having trouble locating the MAPISession object. When I add the MAPI Controls v6.0 (c:\winnt\system32\Msmapi32.ocx) from components, then add it to a form, I get the MAPIMessages1 control to use. However, whenever I try to reference MAPISession1 I get a variable not set error. Do I need to add another control or should it all be contained within the one .ocx? Thanks.

There are separate OCXs for the MapiSession and MapiMessages controls; you need to add them both.

On my version of VB6 (SP5) both MapiSession control and MapiMessage control are in the same .OCX, MSMAPI32.OCX. It's included as Microsoft MAPI controls 6.0 under Project|Components.

You do however have to add both of the separate controls to the form.

Thanks guys, I knew there must be another control kicking around somewhere! Basically, when I was adding the .OCX to my toolbox, it was wrappering the layout of the controls so that I could only see the Message control and not the Session control. I've managed to locate them both now. Thanks again, Nick.
