Masking a From Sender 3

[RonRepp]

Hi all:

Is there a way to mask the Sender's name? We have clients that want their name and e-mail address placed on the ship confirm e-mails.

Thanks,

Thanks.

How would I do this programatically?

Will you be running Outlook from Outlook, or using it as an application object from within another application, say maybe Access? How do you intend to have this happen?

Tom:

I'll be running it from a VB program using Outlook as an object.

Thanks,

You may consider the SentOnBehalfOfName property of the Outlook.MailItem object.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV:

Thanks for the response. I've tried the SentOnBehalf property and I keep getting an error telling me that I don't have authorization.

Is there something that I have to setup in Outlook?

Thanks,

RonRepp,
In most MS Exchange environments one of two things need to happen before you send messages from a profile other than your own:[ol]
[li]An administrator needs to set you up as an Author for a particular account.[/li]
[li]The person your sending the message on behalf of needs to add you as a Delegate and give you Author privledges.[/li][/ol]
