Outlook - changing CurrentUser in VBA?

[cresbydotcom]

ny ideas how to do this? (Outlook 2000 specifically)

I can find the properties of a namespace object eg -
objNS.SyncObjects.Item(x) and that gives me Account data for each account I have set up.
and similarly I can see what the current user is from eg objNS.CurrentUser (all properties are read only)
but the only way to set the current user that I can find is to manually set it as the default (or send an email from one "Account" and hope the current user remains as per last use.)

I haven't found a method or statement or property that can set the current user to the Account of my choice in VBA.

As nobody else has come forward, I'll answer as best I can.

I don't think this is possible - and, even if it is, it certainly won't work when you upgrade to SP2 (I think) or newer versions which have the Object Model Guard in place. The best I think you can do is what you know already - to send mail from a different account.

Enjoy,
Tony

Thanx

I did try sendkeys to set the default user but once the focus becomes the dialog I can't send to the dialog. I have been round this loop before.

Fortunately the most likely scenario is for me to use it on one account for the moment.
