Outlook Outbox not responding

[Rose B]

I have a MS Access application which uses VB to construct/send emails.
The application is used by some users with Office 2007 and some using Office
2003.
The Office 2007 users have "ClickYes" software from ContextMagic installed.
The MS Access application is distributed as 2007 runtime.

What I have found is that all is well for Office 2007 users all of the time,
and for Office 2003 users if Outlook is closed when the email is sent
(ClickYes accepting the security alert boxes). However, if a Office 2003 user
has Outlook open (which is normal) when the .Send command is issued from VB
then they will see a box stating that the "action cannot be completed becuase
the Outbox - Microsoft Outlook application (Outbox - Microsoft Outlook) is
not responding. Cjoose Switch To to activate Outbox...........". The user can
then click one of two buttons - Switch To... or Retry. Whichever they click
dies the trick and the application continues OK.

Does anyone know of any way of stopping this box from appearing and the
processing continuing without user intervention?

(I will post this in the Access Programming forum as well).

Thanks Alex; I have installed on one of my PCs and works brilliantly! My only
concern is whether "standard" users would get themselves into a bit of a
pickle if they picked the wrong option to start with and then found that they
were constantly getting errors without knowing how to put it right again.

However, it looks like a very useful tool indeed and I will consider very
carefully. Thanks for your help.
