> Take a look at http://www.a1vbcode.com/snippet-270.asp Stuart, It would have been great but it(api_SendMail) didn't work with Outlook Express on my PC resulting in a message: Microsoft Office Outlook. ========================= Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fullfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client. What is also bad news this message above comes somewhere out of MS Windows(MAPI32.dll probably) and can't be suppressed.... Tested on another PC - the same result. On both PCs mailto protocol works just fine. When tested your sample, which forces to use Outlook(olk_SendMail) it resulted in an annoying message: << A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". >> Yes, I know it can be suppressed but what I'm looking for is just a simple method to prepare a message, pop it up for users to click [Send] button or cancel... <<< It works fine with Pegasus Mail, Eudora etc. >>> Do you mean you api_SendMail code? - it failes here for Outlook Express :( Shamil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stuart McLachlan" <stuart at lexacorp.com.pg> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 9:54 AM Subject: Re: [AccessD] ShellExecute to send short e-mail vianon-MSemailclients... > On 4 Nov 2005 at 8:16, Shamil Salakhetdinov wrote: > > > Stuart, > > > > I'd not argue but this question about using different e-mail clients under > > MS Windows, which IMO should have simple effective solution, looks still > > unclear here. > > Do you have a generic sample to work with any e-mail client via MAPI? > > Take a look at http://www.a1vbcode.com/snippet-270.asp > Note that the Logon and Logoff are not needed for most emali clients' > Outlook is about the only time you need these functions. > > > > Do you know how MAPI can be used with non-MS e-mail clients ? > > Yes, take a look at MAPISend on my website.
