Outlook Automation

[sheronne]

I appologize for being one of those people that post the same question (as I know I have seen the answer before); however, I have been searching for and can not find it. With that said.........

I am trying to Automate Outlook and when I try to access outlook, a box pops up which allows me to grant access to another program for up to ten minutes. Is there a work around for this?

Thanks

If you're talking about the new security features in Outlook 2000 SP2 and Outlook XP, then you might want to look at Redemption:

http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

Redemption allows you to send email and access all the other things you could before all the security patches where applied to Outlook 2000 SP2 and XP. Here's some VFP sample code:

*-- Example VFP Code using Redemption DLL
LOCAL oRedem, oOutlook, oMail
 
oRedem = CREATEOBJECT("Redemption.SafeMailItem")
oOutlook = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application")
oMail = oOutlook.CreateItem(0)
 
*-- This needs to be done before trying to access the Redempion methods
*-- and Properties.
WITH oRedem
   .Item = oMail
   .Receipients.Add("user@domain.com")
   .Subject = "Test Email"
   .Body = "This email goes past the Security in Outlook XP"
   .Send
ENDWITH
 
oMail = .NULL.
oOutlook = .NULL.
oRedem = .NULL.

I remember a function completely written in VFP that does (almost ?) the same as the Redemption dll. If I am not mistaken, it was posted to one of the VFP newsgroups on the Microsoft server. You may want to search groups.google.com.

You may have noticed the FAQ I pointed to, onw of which refers to CDO automation. I believe that might be the one you are refering too. And the other FAQ points to the redemption you mentionned.

Hi Mike,

Yes the FAQ is indeed about the tool I was refering to. When I posted my message, your message wasn't visible yet. So I think we posted our messages at the same time, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it at all.

Just discovered this freeware product by Expressoft that automatically clicks "yes" to the popup. You can elect to Suspend/Resume and there is VFox code to include the process in your program
