SendObject - Can't open the mail session

[Jackie]

I am using the SendObject method for the first time. Below is the line of code for which I get the error "...can't open the mail session".

I selected Outlook 98 Type Library and Microsfot Outlook Express under Tools/References.

I am able to use the "SendTo" feature in Word so I know that the MAPI is available.

What other items should I verifiy to execute outlook?

Thank you,

DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "PM_Proj_Num", "RichTextFormat(*.rtf)", "jbg", "", "", "PM report", "Attached is the weekly PM STatus Report", False, ""

I would be inclined to try this without the trailing "", i.e:

DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "PM_Proj_Num", "RichTextFormat(*.rtf)", "jbg", "", "", "PM report", "Attached is the weekly PM STatus Report", False

Also, you shouldn't need to declare references to Outlook or Outlook Express, since SendObject just use's your PC's default MAPI mail client software. So you might want to "unreference" these two.

Thank you for responding.


I made the code change and ran it both with and without the references; still get the error.

If you open your mail client before running the sendobject code. For instance, before the sendobject code, type:
TaskID = Shell("C:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe", vbMaximizedFocus

That should open up the client before trying to send the object to it.
