Automated eMails and Outlook Security

[Scott Duncan]

Hello,

We have used both the DoCmd.SendObject Method and the more sophisticated
Outlook.Application method to create custom eMails for our Clients.

We are looking for a method [around] Outlook Security particularly when we
use the DoCmd.SendObject Method with the 'False' switch which sends the
eMail without viewing it first.

We run a Customer Service Database that we want to Automatically and
unattended sends out shipping dates, shipment confirmations, etc...

TIA,

If they are using Exchange Server their Exchange administrators can control
those settings. You can do nothing on the client other than to NOT use the
Outlook library (or SendObject). There is a free utility that will
automatically deal with one of the prompts that comes up, but another popup
that many users get is not handled by that.

I automate the CDOSys library (Win2000 or higher) which allows me to send
Emails without any security prompts, but the user doesn't get a copy of the
message (unless you CC them) and it can only be used for messages that you
send without displaying them first.
