i was following advice dd oct23,2000 - see below and i must say that your codes work with eudora under winxp. when i tried the codes with outlook express under win98, i got an "0x800401f3 invalid class string" error.

is there anything that can done to make it work under win98? ta

The following code from a command button should enable a user to e-mail directly through MS Outlook Express.

It requires the user to actually send the message from Outlook Express.

Any alternatives that don't require user intervention?

*--
oform = CREATEOBJECT([FORM])

WITH oform
.AddObject([Session1],[oleControl],[MSMAPI.mapiSession])
.AddObject([Message1],[oleControl],[MSMAPI.mapiMessages])
.Session1.Signon
.Message1.sessionid = oform.Session1.sessionid
.Message1.Compose
.Message1.RecipDisplayName = [support@lithoplas.com]
.Message1.AttachmentPathname = [C:\autoexec.bat]
.Message1.msgSubject = [Program error]
.Message1.msgNoteText = [This is a test]
.Message1.Send(1) && Incorrect parameter?
.Session1.Signoff
ENDWITH

RELEASE oform
*--

TIA

Which line of code is giving your the error message?

If if is :-

[tab].Message1.Send(1) && Incorrect parameter?

try changing it to

[tab].Message1.Send

which is the equivalent of

[tab].Message1.Send(.F.)

or

[tab].Message1.Send(0)

At the time of that thread, the code would have been running under Win98 SE, but not necessarily the same version of Outlook Express as you are currently using. HTH

many tks for replying, chris.
i shall try that after i upgraded the outlook express to version 6. i shall revert wiht the results. ta

 

[sncheong]

bad news, chris; it didn't work with outlook express 6. since the error mentioned ole error code, i wonder i need to update the msapi drivers for win98se? can't i just copy them from winxp?
would appreciate your advice. ta

Hi All,
Is it because you don't have MAPI installed on your Win98?

I don't think that MAPI is installed by default on Win98. You have to run the set up program and install it.

just to echo ChrisCarroll

this message means that you do not have MSMapi32.ocx on your system. Attitude is Everything

 

[sncheong]

[sncheong]

The MAPI message control and session controls are Activex controls that should have been installed with the application installation. At step #2, you can select the Ativex controls to installed along with the application, they are mot installed with win98. Maybe you can do a re-install of the application to include the 2 activex controls. If not, create a small "dummy" application with just a text fiel as a main file, and do an install on that and include the two activex controls. Mike Gagnon
