Thanks Chip. I would do that, but one of the requirements (which I forgot to mention above) for the app is to create an email that sits in the sent items box of Outlook. Peter

I have a vb.net app that sends emails with attachments for clients. I am currently testing it with Office 2003 and get the following message when the app tries to send an email: "A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf..." The fixes out there are apps that click the...

ok - thanks to some help outside the forum, this problem has been solved. I needed to include a linereturn after the End statement that was being sent. I was hoping that it would be something simple like that! Peter

I have an app that ftp's some data up to a site. Then using telnet, I need to kick off a process. It would be nice to automate this process, but I run into trouble when I send the commands. The command created and sent is correct, but the receiving server does not get the 'end' command. This...

I am having the exact same problem with Excel 2000 on Windows XP Pro. I have tried reinstalling Office. I have made sure that there are enough resources available and everything. I am not sure if the clipboard is somehow affected by the network (we have a W2000 network and use roaming...

already done! :-)

Thanks Denny, I knew it would be fairly easy, I just couldn't get it to work when I tried. Works fine now! :-) Peter

Hi, Maybe I'm a bit of a newbie on this one, but I can't figure this out. I have an old application that updates a table in the database (the app was not written by me and I don't have the code, which is why I need to use a trigger to do this.) This application will update column 'value' with...

Hi, I am stumped on this one. I need to send out a Word document (Office 2000) in pdf to about 300 people. The problem is that each one has to be numbered sequentially. The number has to appear on the front page of the pdf that is emailed. So, my code would essentially open the document...

Thanks Sweep. I tried to add the space, but got the same error. So, I tried something a bit different. I use filecopy to copy the attachment and give the copied file a unique name. Then I attach the copied file, send the email, and then delete the copied file. For whatever reason, this...

Hi, I have an vb.net app that emails attachment(s) as designated by the user to a list of people. There can be one or many attachments as selected by the user on the form. The following code generates the email: oMailitem = oOutlook.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) oMailitem.To =...

Hi, I am writing an app that needs to know if the user has not been using the PC for a certain length of time. When the user has not used the PC for 5 minutes, I want the app to show busy, kind of like what MSN messenger does. I am unable to find where Windows XP exposes this system value...

HI, I have an Visual Basic 6 application that generates PDF files that I send out to customers. I am not able to programmatically protect/secure the document using Acrobat 4.0. Therefore, anyone could change the text of the document if they had the right Adobe product. Does anyone know if...

HI, I'm trying to log each error produced by my app. I want to log: 1. Err.description 2. The Class/Form name 3. The Function/Sub name My code for a typical routine looks something like this Function DoSomething() Try 'Do stuff Catch LogError(err.Description, "form or class...

Hi, In VB6, I had an MDI app that was used office wide and each person was allowed different levels of access. For example, on a menu named Process, there were 3 functions. Person A could access Function 1 and 2 while Person B could Access 1 and 3. When Person A logged in, my app checked the...
