Since i don't have Outlook Express installed (to be honest, I'm allergic to O and OE), can someone test this script with it ? (don't forget to change the destination address)
code:
$Root = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") $MailItem = $Root.CreateItem(0) ; olMailItem object $MailItem.Importance=2 $MailItem.Subject = "Automation Test" $MailItem.To = "Please edit me@I_really_want_it" ; Multiple element can be separated with ; $MailItem.Body = "this is a test sample of a future SendMail UDF()" $MailItem.Send
TIA [ 31 December 2001: Message edited by: Alex.H ]

Maybe it's handy to know that I haven't Outlook installed only Outlook Express.

I've got my answer, thanks In fact, I was wondering if Outlook Express had the same automation object than Outlook, and the result you got show that it's not the case. Damn M$Add this to be sure just after the createobject: ? "" + @serror [ 31 December 2001: Message edited by: Alex.H ]

So it's clear that it will work with Outlook but doesn't work with Outlook Express. Maybe a new project?

Outlook is installed with Ms Office. Outlook Express is his little brother, completely free(!) and without some (most of ?) features On the other hand, i didn't know that Ms add this messagebox. Well, a sendkeys("Enter") will be enough.Thanks guys [ 31 December 2001: Message edited by: Alex.H ]

Alex,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! - Kent

I didn't really get a look to this part, only the possbility to send a mail when all is getting wrong, something like : Hey sucker, your f$^ù script don't work at all unless the sendmail for this user : ... Now go and correct this and don't ever mind to sleep this night.But you should get a look to the link kdyer provide, the attachment part is at the end (in VB, but easy to transcribe).
