Setting the sender's name in an email

[Reggie1977]

Hi,

I want to set the sender's name in an email but I am having problems. Heres the code I am using:

USE C:\EMAILS\EMAILS.DBF IN 0 ALIAS EMAILS

SELE EMAILS

loApp = CREATEOBJECT( "Outlook.Application" )
loMail = loapp.createitem( 0 )
WITH loMail
.recipients.ADD( "joe.johnson@o2.ie" )
.subject = "Customer Service Email"
.sender = "reggie1977@mydomain.com"
.body = ncemails.para1 + CHR(13) + ncemails.para2
.send()
ENDWITH

CLOS DATA

But I get an error message at .sender:

OLE error code 0x80020006: Unknown name.

I dont want my own name and email address appearing on the email, can anyone tell me where I am going wrong.

P.S. This is not for Spam emails if thats what you are thinking. Its a customer service app.

I believe that the sender's name has to be a valid name.

Outlook object modell you can find in docu for MS Office. On my PC it is in: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1029\VBAOUTL9.CHM"

Reggie1977,

I believe you are looking for .SenderName and it is not used the way you are using it.

Try
.sentonbehalfofname=anyname@ISP.com

instead of:

.sender = ...
