Well see never mind,
I have my own cMAPI class now, that incorporates MAPI API (USING VC Declare rather than VB<-that doesn't work),
still I can't make it work without APP MODAL, it seams to me that UIParam argument in all functions has to be pointer to CWnd class
or something that VB doesn't support. I can't find any details with sample code on this argument, how application will behave if
this argument is passed or not, cause in my case if I pass hWnd or 0 it is same result. I must be missing something.
But:
- I don't have to include MSMAPI32.OCX in my installation;
- my app in background seams to be working fine in other threads (some network communication);
If user still wants to get some info from App he will need to get that info first and than send mail, or close compose window get
info end start compose again.
I don't want to loose more time on this - now it seams to me like impossible task, I can bet that MS support would say "It is by
Design", but still I know that compose in OE doesn't block main window so than it should not block my App, but...
If I could write my own mapi32.dll, I would only remove only WaitForSingleObject from original source or make it conditional q=)
Anyway thanks for all your help

| As the MS documentation indicates, CDOSYS is available from Windows 2000 up.
| It is not available on NT4 (that's CDONT, being CDO v1.x - see my earlier

| Your code:
| > Set oSes = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
| > Set oSes = New MAPI.Session
| is not CDOSYS, but MAPI. MAPI is no longer part of Windows as of Windows
| 2000, and you have to install Outlook to get it. See KB254458 and KB314491,
| which also state "Microsoft recommends that vendors upgrade their programs
| to use Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)." (as per my initial response).
