Hi,

In my organization they've done some kind of trick to allow the usage of two
Outlook applications in the same time.

The first Outlook is a 'normal' one working with an exchange server, and
the second one is a variation of the original program which displays mail in
a different way and used for different purposes, using different username,
password etc (The GUI is a bit different too).

In order for that to work correctly we need always to first open the
'normal' Outlook, then the 'second' one (Otherwise it opens two windows of
the second outlook).

Problem is if I want to automate creating Email messages it always opens the
second ('bad') Outlook unless I don't run it at, but users are always
working with both application opened, so that makes Email automation
impossible by far.

I don't know much about how they cracked that Outlook program but I'm
looking for a way to use VBA to send Email messages from Word.

Is there any way to use code that will know how to 'select' the real program
(even using some debugging and making some trials), so that I will be able
to automate Email sending in the 'real' Outlook?

Kind Regards,
Amir.

Hi Amir,

if CreateObject("Outlook.Application") doesn´t start Outlook, but
another Application, you should ask your organization´s cracks how to
work around.
