UPDATE: By every command who starts with $Mailitem. I get this error.

Add this to be sure just after the createobject:
? "" + @serror

It prompted me with the "A program is trying to automaticall send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? "
Yes/No/Help

It will sort of work...

Thanks guys

Does this work for you?

code:

---

BREAK ON CLS
; -- Ref - http://cwashington.netreach.net/depo/view.asp?Index=192&ScriptType=vbscript 
;Set theApp = WScript.CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$Root = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$theNameSpace = $Root.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
$theNameSpace.Logon "profile", "password"
$theMailItem = $Root.CreateItem(0)
          
$theMailItem.Recipients.Add "dyerkb@myrealbox.com"
$theMailItem.Subject = "Your Subject Here"
$theMailItem.Body = "Your message here."
$theMailItem.Send
$theNameSpace.Logoff

HTH,

kdyer,
Please do the same and retest.

Radimus and awinkel,
did you think to correct it when you tested the script ?

adding the @ to the address so that it is @@ works fine on my system.

Works great!

Couple of suggestions..

After the send piece, I added:
$Root.Quit
$Root = ""

To cleanly close out of Outlook.

Have a look at - http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm and there is a "test function" to see if Outlook is open and if not, it closes it otherwise, it remains open.

Thanks!

MS will be pissed if you guys figure out how to send Anthrax through Outlook... as that is the only virus to not be propigated using MS software...

But you should get a look to the link kdyer provide, the attachment part is at the end (in VB, but easy to transcribe).
