This thread is for discussions of MAPI Emailer.

Hi

I am trying to use the simple email method in VB6  using a MAPIMessage object in Win98se.

Here is the start of the code:

Function SendMessage(EmailAddress As String, Subject As String, MessageText As String)
On Error GoTo mailerr:
MAPISession1.SignOn
If MAPISession1.SessionID <> 0 Then
   With MAPIMessages1
       .SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
       .Compose
       .RecipAddress = EmailAddress
       .MsgSubject = Subject
       .MsgNoteText = MessageText
       .Send False
   End With



When the line

MAPISession1.SignOn

is reached the programme locks up.

The only thing I can think of is dll problems, but MAPI.dll and MAPI32.dll are both present.

Can anyone help please?

Hi, this is probably a miss on my part but when I use the example you've given I get and error linked to MAPISession1 - varibale not defined, I'm obviously missing a component, I've added the MAPIMessage1 but your example doesn't explain the session, and I'm relatively new to Vb and especially this area, if you could help I'd appreciate it, thanks
