sENDING eMAIL fROM vb6

BrianWren · April 8th, 2009, 04:53 PM

I have a program with no user interface, which I want to send email.

It runs on a server, being started through Task Scheduler on Reboot.

The entry point is Public Sub Main().

It looks for data files in a folder; if none are found, it Sleeps the thread for 5 seconds, then looks again—lather, rinse, repeat.

When it finds one, it reads it, deletes it, then acts on the read data.

If there is an error, I want to notify the user (one of the piece of data) through email.

I can’t use the MAPI control, because there are no forms to serve as its container...

Hi..

Unless that particular control has any problem (that I doubt) you can instantiate the control from code and use it like it's on a form. Did you try it???

What's the syntax for that?

Well.. I add the component to the control toolbar and then I can do

Dim pp As MAPIMessages
Dim aa As MAPISession

Which I supposed it's the same that the control do. Every control can be called by code.

I got an access denied error adding it to the toolbox. (Grrrrr...)

I have move to a different approach, and am going to start a new thread in VB 6 Pro on that approach; Hope to meet you there.
