MAPI controls

No, it's not possible to use the MAPI control from VB.

  There are many other alternatives, simplest of which is the sendobject command.  You can also purchase a control that works with Access or write your own interface.  

  I could give you a lot more info if I knew what version of Access this was for.

Yup - its possible. You just need devel access to MSMAPI32.OCX - you will get this if you install VB5 or 6. Simply Insert, ActiveXControl and select MSMAPI32.OCX.

Search the access area for "MAPI" and you can find the reams of code I have posted in the past.....

From the web:

"MAPI makes adding attachments to your email messages very simple. You don't need to encode your binary file using MIME or UUENCODE, instead the MAPIMessages control will handle all the encoding for you. (If you've ever seen the MIME specification, you will be VERY grateful for this feature.)"

NOTE:Please change the RecipAddress. I don't want to get a million Autoexec.bat files!

Private Sub Form_Load()
    MAPISession1.SignOn
   
    MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
   
    MAPIMessages1.Compose
    MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress = "abstractvb@home.com"
    MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject = "Here is my Autoexec"
    MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "Below you will find the file."
       
    'Add the Attachment at the end of the message
    MAPIMessages1.AttachmentPosition = Len(MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText)
   
    'Set the type to a data file
    MAPIMessages1.AttachmentType = mapData
   
    'Give it a name
    MAPIMessages1.AttachmentName = "Autoexec File"
   
    'Specify what file to send
    MAPIMessages1.AttachmentPathName = "c:\autoexec.bat"
   
    MAPIMessages1.Send True
   
    MAPISession1.SignOff
End Sub

There is a problem with the line
MAPIMessages1.Send True
