>>Hi William -- Yeah, sorry I cut out the code for the profile. I didn't understand it, and I was coupling your suggestions along with the following paper from Microsoft:

>>Q136638 - HOWTO: Send E-mail Programmatically Using MSMAPI OLE Control
>>
>>Microsoft's paper didn't have anything in there about the profile. As you can see from my work in trying to look up the information on my own from Microsoft, I'm not asking anybody for a free ride here. However, I'm having a terrible time trying to get everything to work like I need it to. I very much appreciate your help on this. I feel like I'm very close now. If I can just get a few more details ironed out, I think I'll be there.

>>As you suggested, I took a look in Outlook under Tools - Options - General tab - Startup settings. It just says, "Always use this profile: Microsoft Outlook."

>>So, I would just add This.Session1.UserName = "Microsoft Outlook" before the Signon call? What about other users using this on different computers? Will that still work?

>Yes that would be the right syntax. As for other computers you probably will need to make it a config item in a user table or something like that. As I understand, it is normal to have everyone within an organization using the same profile. I must confess I am not well versed in Outlook, I do know I stumbled on the Profile portion of the MAPI control and added the line above for that reason. FWIW, I don't see you're questions as a "free ride", but I do understand you trying to work it out on your own. For me, that approach seems to stick better.

I plugged in the call to the profile...

ThisForm.Session1.UserName = "Microsoft Outlook"
ThisForm.Session1.SignOn

... but the mail still didn't automatically send. After I clicked on Send, I immediately got back a message from the mail administrator account stating the same error as before:

Would still appreciate any further suggestions. TIA, Chuck.
