Outlook Message via VBA (2003 SP2)

Topic

New Reply

I’m creating outgoing Outlook e-mail via VBA (from within Access using Automation). I would like to control (specify) the “From” property — I have my own Exchange Server mailbox from which the Outlook object appears to pull my name as the default From property for the message. However, I have also defined a workgroup shared mailbox in Outlook — I would like the Outlook object to use this mailbox’s e-mail address as the From property for the message I’m creating. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

You cannot set the SenderName property in code, it is read-only for security reasons. Instead, you can set the SentOnBehalfOfName property.

I’ll try that, Hans. Thanks (again!)
