I am able to work out of my house for part of my time (yeah!) but am having problems getting e-mail in a timely fashion. I have my own network and domain at home. My company requires remote users to access Exchange through a VPN using Outlook offline.
When I click the toolbar button [Send/Receive], Outlook connects through the VPN and then displays a dialog box for user name, password, and domain. (This does not happen to remote users who do not their own domain/network. Also, it only happens the first time I click S/R per session). My folders then synchronize and all is well.
But I have to remember to click the toolbar button to get my mail!
When I tried to change the Send/Receive Groups to schedule an automatic send/receive every 5 minutes, it does not dial the VPN connection first.
So, my two annoyances that I'd like help with:
1) How can I get rid of the login box? Can I do something in VB, VBA, or with a command line to send this information without me typing it in every time?
2) What am I doing wrong that a manual Send/Receive works but an automatic send/receive does not.
Thanks in advance--
