Send From with VBA

[agibsonsw]

Hello. Outlook 2003.

Automating sending an email with VBA I can't see the 'From' field to send and email on behalf
of someone?
Just occurred to me that perhaps this is a security setting? (For obvious reasons). Is this the case?

Yep, it's security. You can set the SentOnBehalfOfName property of a MailItem:

Code: Select all

Dim objMessage As MailItem
Set objMessage = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
...
objMessage.SentOnBehalfOfName = "Big Brother"
...

...

Thank you. Where does this appear in the received email pl?

Regards, Andy.

This is the effect if I send an e-mail to myself with you as sender:
