Mail shot

[Peter Bircher]

Hi all

I wrote a program that uses the command .send to email several people. The program has to run unattended as the mail is a warning if a certain piece of eqiuipment fails respond.

Now when the program runs it requires user-intervention after a 5 second wait. This is the help:

"A program is trying to send mail using Item.Send
A program is trying to automatically send e-mail using a Microsoft Outlook Visual Basic Application command, Item.Send. If you want this program to send this e-mail, click Yes. To stop the program, click No. If you are unsure which program is sending the e-mail or why, you may want to click No to avoid any possible spread of viruses.

Note When this message is displayed, the Yes button is not available for 5 seconds."

How can one turn off the security "feature" so that it will continue to send automatically?

Thanks, in anticipation,

Peter

I don't believe you can turn it off. However, Ron de Bruin has shows how to
use CDO to send the mail and avoid the message:
