I have an program that creates a email every few hours, it drops it straight into the Outbox of outlook 2000. Although I have set outlook to Send messages immediately, and check for new messages every couple of minutes, it does not send the messeages unless I press the Send button.

Any suggestions?

 
SteveAudus,
Knowing a little more about what program you use may help. However, I use Excel and send messages via Outlook directly all the time. In my code I create an instance of Outlook for sending the message or dim the application as an object. Then after building the message in the code you can stipulate to send the email object directly or display it on screen via objmsg.display or objmsg.send. There should be a number of references to this type of activity online.

Hope this helps.
 
I have solved this problem, now using outlook 2003,
and it sends ok.

But requests if it's ok to send the email from the program.

I'd like to switch this warning off, so I can leave the machine unattened. Is it possible?

Thanks.

 
This is a security "feature" started with Outlook 2000. You "can't" turn this off.

But you can workaround. There are several 3rd party programs that will "send" the e-mail. Or you can first open the e-mail then send it.

There have been many threads here discussing this situation. Try doing a search.
