DoCmd.SendObject error
When using sendobject my code for some reason gives me this error
Run time error 2287 % can't open the mail session
This is only occuring on one of the 5 machines I have installed it on.
So far the things I have tried are making sure outlook express is the default mail program (has to be to work properly)
A microsoft KB article said something about the registry but I have ruled that one out by installing on a 6th machine.
I am completly stuck on this one so any help would be appreciated. I am using Access 2000 if anyone wanted to know and it is installed on a WinME machine.
Just to reiterate my code works fine sending the email on 5 other machines so it is not the code that is wrong but something to do with the setup of the machine.
TIA

ShellExecute is non-discriminatory as oppose to SendObject, you might consider it rather then getting the broken one to work.
I had the same problem and found the Run time error 2287 caused by the [Mail] setting in win.ini file
An NT box was missing variables that caused Run time error 2287 % can't open the mail session, whilst another WinMe machine was fine
The faulty machine win.ini had the follwoing entry
[Mail]
MAPI=1
The working machine win.ini file looked like
[Mail]
MAPI=1
MAPIX=1
OLEMessaging=1
CMC=1
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
As soon as I changed the win.ini file the problem was fixed.
