VFP6 Outlook Accounts 2

[eric43]

I have three accounts in Outlook and wish to use a specific one for messages from VFP using PostCast.

I am using the following code with some passed parameters

		o=createobject("outlook.application")
		oitem=o.createitem(0)
		oitem.subject=alltrim(bodymsg1)

		oitem.to=sendingto

		oitem.body=alltrim(bodymsg2)

		oitem.send

		o=.null.

Many thanks

Eric

I was asking how to nominate a specific Outlook account using a method in the above code.

Thanks

I believe that Outlook is not as flexible as some methods. It will most likely only take that account set be default. You would most likely have to use eith MAPI (which allows you to specify a profile) or CDO which can allow any sender and is not account specific.

Eric,

A client had the same problem a year or so ago. As far as I remember, we couldn't find a way of doing it programmatically. I believe you can change various fields in the message, such as the reply-to address, but not the identity of the sender.

I agree with Mike Gagnon that other methods are more flexible. It's not too difficult to talk directly to an SMTP server. There are several utilities and DLLs available to do that. For example, you might take a look at Blatt.

Mike
