Change or Remove Outlook "From" field using VBS?

[TropicalFred]

Is there any way, using VBS, to change or delete the “From” field in an Outlook 2000 e-mail?

I am sending out a custom e-mail to 400+ people in our company. I developed a VBScript to automate the process and it works great with one exception. I would prefer that the "From" field either show a different address (e.g., "Communications" instead of "jsmith") or not appear at all.

I thought I could just use a line like:

newMail.From = "Communications"
or
newMail.From.Visible = False

but those create unsupported property/method errors.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried this ?
newMail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "Communications"

Hope This Helps, PH.
