Delay sending emails??

[Phil Ferguson]

Hello,
I am using the sendobject command in a macro to send out numerous emails.
This seems to be causing a problem with our exchnage server. Is there a way
to delay sending the emails for a few seconds between each one? Is there
something I could include in the macro??

Thanks
Phil

The only practical way to introduce pauses when working with macros, is
to open a form as part of the macro, with the form's Timer Interval set
to the length of the desired delay, and then run the next macro action
from the Timer event of the form. It's a bit of a fiddle, but you
should be able to get something like this to work. Alternatively, there
are some third-party utilities around that might help. There was one
called Email Pump that I used with success a couple of years ago, I
suppose it's still around.

Thanks, I will try using the form.
