Try this:
Dim objOutl
Set objOutl = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMailItem = objOutl.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'comment the next line if you do not want to see the outlook window
objMailItem.Display
strEmailAddr = "me.me@you.com"
objMailItem.Recipients.Add strEmailAddr
objMailItem.Body = "Hi"
objMailItem.Attachments.Add "file.xml"
objMailItem.Send
Set objMailItem = nothing
Set objOutl = nothing

tnx it works

there is one little problem. when i run the macro(in outlook 2000,and there is exchange server 2000), there appear popup window and asks "a program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. do you want to allow this?" and "A program is trying to send e-mail on your behalf.do you want to allow this?"

does anybody can tell how to configure exchange 2000 server that these windows appear?
or is it possible to add some script that ingnore these messages?
sendind mail should work automatically.

do you have outlook open on the server you are running the script on, or just installed?

its a security feature of outlook!!! nice, good i suppose, unless you want to supress it!!!

i get round it by sending email via an smtp server instead, taht way you dont have to concern yourself with outlook

you need to type in the fqn nme of your smtp server where it says &quot;ball.blaa.net&quot;

Referring back to the script from RalphTrent, I added a couple of Shell.Sendkeys "^~" between each line of his code after the SetObjMailItem line. his effectively kills the popups and executes without the user seeing anything.

I have this working down to getting rid of the popups ( do I really want to send this e-mail). I must be doing something wrong in tying to get the Shell.Sendkeys "^~" to work. Ideas please. Or is them some setting that can be turned off.

Thanks much! - Larry

sendkeys is pretty flak-eee to say the least.
do you really not have an SMTP server around? perhaps a IIS server that is running it?

if not then try sendkeys({ENTER})

Well - now my lack of knowledge will show. In this case I am just a user trying to send txt files from Outlook 2002 automatically and really do not know what a SMPT server is. All I have or can use is the Outlook. I tried the send keys by placing (sendkeys "enter") in vaious places in the code but either get the same security problem or some lock-up. The idea and concept is just so perfect. Just need to get this one thing to work.


Thanks, Larry

ok test this from a blank vbscript file

Msgbox "hello world"
WshShell.SendKeys({ENTER})

just to test your sendkeys entry

or post all your code and we can have a look at it.

how do you declare the WshShell???

Think its time to hide behide a tree as I know bits and piecss but am basically missing the curve!

What is WshShell, please?

Here is he code from back in Dec with just a bit of touchup. I just can't get rid of the blanky blank popup!

Sub SendMyFile()

Dim objOutl
Set objOutl = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMailItem = objOutl.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'comment the next line if you do not want to see the outlook window
objMailItem.Display
strEmailAddr = "lt9165@sbc.com"
'SendKeys "^~"
objMailItem.Recipients.Add strEmailAddr
SendKeys "ENTER"
'SendKeys "^~"
'SendKeys "^~"
objMailItem.Body = "Hifrom the e-mailbody "
objMailItem.Attachments.Add "c:\my documents\test.xls"
'SendKeys "^~"
objMailItem.Send
Set objMailItem = Nothing
Set objOutl = Nothing
SendKeys "^~"
SendKeys "^~"
End Sub

You have to instantiate the WshShell object prior to use it:
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
and then you can do this:
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "^~"

Hope This Help, PH.

alright Larry, here it is a SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server is exactly like it sounds, most xp, 2000, 2003 servers had them installed are are an option. These servers usually run on port 25, unless configured otherwise,
plus the 2 configuration fields are needed to send all the required information. so what newcoder54 said was correct, you just need a easier example so hear it is.
Code: 
dim iconf : set iconf = createobject("cdo.configuration")
                        
                       dim Flds : Set Flds = iConf.Fields' get field object
dim Ws : Set Ws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
dim compn : compn = Ws.ComputerName' place computer name in variable
                        With Flds'use field object
                            .Item'declare item #1("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusin...;)[/URL] = 2
                            .Item#2("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserv...;)[/URL] = "smtp."& compn &".com" 'ToDo: Type a valid SMTP server ext ie .net .biz .us ....
                            .Update
                        End With

cheers

This one might be easier for you to understand as it has been fully commented. Save the following to a text file and give it an extension of .VBS.

You can edit it with notepad and read the comments which all begin with an apastrophe.

You will need to change just a few lines. You need to put in your domain name, who you want the message sent to, the IP address of your SMTP server and you will need to edit the message body and attachment info. Should all be easy enough to follow.

For your SMTP server, take a look in the properties of your Outlook Email account. If you use POP mail, enter the Outgoing SMTP server name instead of entering an IP address. If you are using an Exchange server, you could try entering that name. You may need to speak to your network admin to allow you to relay to the server.

Enjoy Bob

Dim ToAddress

MessageSubject = "Reader Service Leads"
MessageBody = "Here are your leads for 03-10-2004"
MessageAttachment = "Y:\folder\folder\file.CSV"
Set ol = WScript.CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set ns = ol.getNamespace("MAPI")
Set newMail = ol.CreateItem(olMailItem)
newMail.Subject = MessageSubject
newMail.Body = MessageBody & vbCrLf
newMail.RecipIents.Add(ToAddress)
newMail.Attachments.Add(MessageAttachment)
