MAPI

alantodd · June 11th, 2003, 09:30 PM

Hi Everyone,

I am building an application in VB 6.0 that needs to be able to send e'mails. I have included the MAPI controls MAPIMessage & MAPISession and all is working well on workstations that are using MS Outlook Express as their e'mail client. However, on the workstations that are using MS Outlook, everytime you send your message, the system generates an error message that reads 'Unspecified Failure has occured'

Not much help unfortunately.

Has anyone else seen this?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alan Todd

P.S. Here is the code:

MAPISess.SignOn
MAPIMess.SessionID = MAPISess.SessionID
MAPIMess.Compose
MAPIMess.RecipAddress = To.Text
MAPIMess.AddressResolveUI = True
MAPIMess.MsgSubject = Subject.Text
MAPIMess.MsgNoteText = Body.Text
MAPIMess.Send
MAPISess.SignOff

Hello Alan, Hi everybody,

I am using this piece of code to send mail in my VB app and I've no problem with Ms Outlook. I have cut some of it but I think you could make good use of the following. Hope it works out for you. And if someone wants to add something or comment please do.

regards,

Code:

Private Sub miFMailDirect_Click()

    On Error GoTo err_miFMailDirect_Click

    Dim sFileName As String
    Dim sRecipient As String
    Dim sSubject As String
    Dim sBody As String

    Me.MousePointer = vbHourglass
'   set filename if you want to do attachment, body, recipient etc
    sFileName = ""
    sRecipient = ""
    sSubject = ""
    sBody = ""
    If mapSess.NewSession Then
'       check if session is already opened
    Else
        With mapSess        'MAPISession
'           Set DownLoadMail to False to prevent immediate download.
            .DownLoadMail = False
'           Use the underlying email system's logon UI.
            .LogonUI = True
            .SignOn
            .NewSession = True
            mapMess.SessionID = .SessionID
        End With
        With mapMess        'MAPIMessage
            .MsgIndex = -1
            .Compose
            .RecipIndex = 0
            .RecipType = 1
            .RecipAddress = sRecipient
            .MsgSubject = sSubject
            .MsgNoteText = sBody
'           attachment
            If sFileName <> "" Then
                .AttachmentIndex = 0
                .AttachmentPosition = 0
                .object.AttachmentName = sFileName
                .AttachmentPathName = (sFileName)
            End If
            .AddressResolveUI = False
            .ResolveName
            DoEvents
            .Send False
            MsgBox "Mail has been sent successfully.", vbInformation, App.Title
        End With
        mapSess.SignOff
        mapSess.NewSession = False ' Flag for new session.
    End If
    Me.MousePointer = vbDefault
    Exit Sub

err_miFMailDirect_Click:
    Select Case Err.Number
        Case 32002, 32001
            MsgBox "Mail cannot be sent! Error unknown.", vbExclamation, App.Title
            Me.MousePointer = vbDefault
            Exit Sub
        Case Else
            MsgBox "Error# : " & Err.Number & Chr$(10) & _
                Err.Description, vbExclamation, App.Title & " : miFMailDirect_Click"
            Me.MousePointer = vbDefault
            Exit Sub
    End Select

End Sub

Hi a other easy way is like this :
But you have to link the right dll's !!

    Dim outApp As Outlook.Application
    Set outApp = New Outlook.Application
    Dim outMAPI As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim outFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim outMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Set outApp = New Outlook.Application
    Set outMAPI = outApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set outFolder = outMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox)
    Set outMail = outFolder.Items.Add

    outMail.To = "user@domain.ch"
    outMail.Subject = "Txt-File"
    outMail.Body = "Hallo"
    outMail.Send

cheers Kilian
