Afternoon,

i am looking at setting outlook up to run as a scheduled task on a

server that has an application that uses some of the API's to check the

public folders for some information. Running the application it opens

outlook does what it needs and closes.

Running the application as me in the scheduled task and in the

processes that are running i can see an outlook session and the

application running but it doesn't seem to work like it does when you

double click it.

I think its because outlook doesn't know who to open as even tho the

exe runs as me the outlook process runs as me i dont think it does and

thats whats causing the issues, is there a way to fix this with either

a outlook switch or registry setting?

Don't even think of doing that. It's a completely inappropriate use of

Outlook.

Outlook throws warnings and errors that cannot be disabled and that require

user intervention. The Outlook object model is also not at all supported for

use in a service or how you intend to use it. Use server side CDO, or

Extended MAPI or a server side access such as EWS to talk to the server. Or

you can use a 3rd party library such as Redemption

(www.dimastr.com/redemption).

If you insist on doing what you're doing it's unsupported and no one

including MS support will be able to help you.
