[AccessD] Outlook Express and generating e-mails to send specifying the sender

I could not get the SentOnBehalfOfName property to work with Outlook 2000.
Instead of the name I suppied for the SentOnBehalfOfName, recipeints
received the name I have in the User Name field for my default email
account.  So I asked members of the Outlook newsgroup
(outlook-dev at yahoogroups.com) for assistance.

I got the following response from Dmitry Streblechenko:

"SentOnBehalfOfName can only be used under Exchnage and the propetrty must
be set to the name of one of the Exchange users. You must be explictly given
a permission to send on behalf of that user."

I'm going to assume that if it won't work in Outlook 2000 then it most
likely won't work in Outlook Express

By the way, I have been able to get it to work with Outlook 2002.  If you
interested...

1. Create a new Contact for the Name you want to use "JR Consulting" in my
case, and provide the contact with your email address:
youremiladdress at anywhere.com.

2. The Display as: field (below the Email field) displays JR Consulting
(papparuff at attbi.com).  Remove the email address and only display the name,
JR Consulting.

3. In your code - .SendOnBehalfOfName="JR Consulting"

The recipients of your email will see JR Consulting in the From field.  If
you do not remove the email address from the Display as: field, the user
will see the User Name of the default email account.

David,


This is the summary from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=232309.
SUMMARY
You cannot directly change an item's From field using any programming
methods in Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. If you could, mail could be sent
on someone else's behalf without their permission, therefore the From field
is read-only.  You can use the SentOnBehalfOfName property to set the From
field, provided that you were given delegate permissions to send mail on
someone else's behalf. 

HTH,

Mark

Hi All
Can anyone tell me if I can specify the sender (when OE has many sending
e-mail addresses set up) when I generate an e-mail in an access database?
(Specifying who to, subject and body is relatively well documented etc but
this?) With many thanks and.... Kind regards, David Hingston
