Sounds like the issue where MSMAPI controls must be subclassed, then placed on your mail form.


>Hello All,

>I wrote a standalone EXE, stealing some sample code from Craig Boyd, to send email through Outlook using MAPI. While I was testing, it seemed to work just fine, but when in regular use I get an error saying it can't establish a session, but outlook is open.

>Here is a code snippit

>loSession = CREATEOBJECT( "MSMAPI.MAPISession" )
>loSession.Signon()
>IF (loSession.SessionID > 0)
> loMessages = CREATEOBJECT( "MSMAPI.MAPIMessages" )
> loMessages.SessionID = loSession.SessionID
>ENDIF
>loMessages.Compose()

>Works fine until it fails, after it fails, it continues to fail until I reboot, not even closing and reopening Outlook fixes it. I need to have the email go through the client so the email shows up in the users set folder.

>Any suggestions on where the problem lies or how to fix it would be appreciated.
