Re: Using MAPIControls with VB6

Ron, Thanks for the reply,

I was aware of CDO, but I had never seen any consistant examples that worked
as advertised; I'll check out your link.

As I said my app that uses MAPI controls through Outlook Express works quite
well, with the one exception of being able to specify the account; maybe I'm
just being picky, but I'd like to pickup that last 5%.

Thanks again, X

Paul,

I just looked into the "Exchange Server"; WOW at $700 it would be an
under-statement to say that for my application it would be an overkill!

If there is no more cost effective way of specifing a given account in the
Outlook Express client though the MAPI Contrls, ten I'll have to stick
with
what I'm doing now - simply making the target account the default. It's
either that, or find a more cost effective third-party server app that's
compatible with MAPI Controls.

X.

Outlook Express is just an e-mail client. If you want to use the MAPI
controls then a MAPI compliant
sub-system (such as Exchange) must be installed.

Otherwise you're probably looking at an SMTP solution where you can
specify a host e-mail server to
which you can send your e-mails.
