Hi!

MAPI.MAIL and MAPI.Message are not OLE Automation of Outlook Exchange. THese are COM objects that prividedas a wrapper around the Outlook Exchange and Outloo forlders. These controls work with the profiles created by Outlook and Outlook Exchange. They do not use automation of these applications, they use the same folders as Outlook and Outlook Express uses. Just look to the help for these objects. You can find help for these objects looking for CDO (Collaboration Data Objects), first versions of these objects (1.0 and 1.1) are called 'Active Messaging' and installed with default Internet/Microsoft mail services. These are not also the MAPI ActiveX controls. They're pure COM objects that you can use only by CREATEOBJECT command in run-time.

Java Script have an ability to create COM objects, so I guess you will be able to use these objects through Java Script.

HTH.

>>MAPI.Session and MAPI.Message (Active Messaging or CDO - Collaboration Data Objects) could be used to prepare the mail message, attachments and use SEND() method. After that, the same window opens, but already with attachments. I guess Excel 2000 uses that way (or even uses the API functions for appropriate DLLs?). Probably, using Java Script yuo can invoke these objects and do the same.
