Outbox not responding

I have a MS Access application which uses VB to construct/send emails.

The application is used by some users with Office 2007 and some using Office

2003.

The Office 2007 users have "ClickYes" software from ContextMagic installed.

The MS Access application is distributed as 2007 runtime.

What I have found is that all is well for Office 2007 users all of the time,

and for Office 2003 users if Outlook is closed when the email is sent

(ClickYes accepting the security alert boxes). However, if a Office 2003 user

has Outlook open (which is normal) when the .Send command is issued from VB

then they will see a box stating that the "action cannot be completed becuase

the Outbox - Microsoft Outlook application (Outbox - Microsoft Outlook) is

not responding. Cjoose Switch To to activate Outbox...........". The user can

then click one of two buttons - Switch To... or Retry. Whichever they click

dies the trick and the application continues OK.

Does anyone know of any way of stopping this box from appearing and the

processing continuing without user intervention?

(I will post this in the Access Programming forum as well).
 
For me it sounds like you should ask the ClickYes people.

Best regards

Yeah, I did that - and they said that their product could not code around

this message. The strange thing is that if you use Mail Merge to generate

Outlook messages from Access, this message does not appear (and of course the

security messages are handled OK by ClickYes), so I thought that there must

be some kind of flag that is being set by Mail Merge and that I am missing in

my VB statement.

It's not a flag. It's a message created using Simple MAPI that is causing

the problems. You're probably using DoCmd to send the mail? You would need

to start Outlook using automation code and use the Outlook object model to

avoid the problem and to have ClickYes work correctly.

The code that I am using follows..... which I think is the kind of thing that

you are suggesting?

Dim appOutlook As Object

Dim appOutlookMsg As Object

Dim appOutlookRecip As Object

Set appOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set appOutlookMsg = appOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

strRecipient = "rose.b@tiscali.co.uk"

With appOutlookMsg

Set appOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(strRecipient)

appOutlookRecip.Type = olTo

> Importance = 2

> Subject = "Test Msg"

> Body = "Dear You, this is a test message from Access 2007"

> Send

End With

That is Outlook automation, not Simple MAPI, so it is what I was talking

about. I'm really surprised that ClickYes can't handle that.

You might want to try using GetObject() to see if you can pick up an

existing Outlook session before you use CreateObject(), perhaps ClickYes can

handle that.

I don't use ClickYes, nor do most Outlook developers. I consider it a

security risk, and we have Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) to avoid

the security and provide a whole heck of a lot more functionality than

ClickYes.

Thanks Ken.... I solved it!!! (And a real Doh! moment it was too). Somehow

the OLE Automation library had been dropped. Once I put that into the

References all was OK.

I had looked at Redemption before, but the folk I have been doing this for a

re a charity and there are only a couple of users so they didn't really want

to be buying software. I have also looked today at MAPILab's Advanced Outlook

Security, which looks much more rich in functionality. At least with ClickYes

whether it is Active or not can be controlled through VB so it won't just

click through all the time.

Anyway, all's well - thanks for your time.

If you do more Outlook projects, Redemption for sure will pay off. There'd

be no need to have one customer pay for the entire cost.
