Express ClickYes Problem

[bradsalmon]

Hi all,

I've been using the Express ClickYes program very happily for some time
now so when my latest project needed to be able to automatically send
emails I thought it would be easy to do.

Unfortunately there is one big difference between the latest project
and the earlier ways I was using ClickYes. This time around the Access
VBA program runs uninterupted and as such after a while the machine
which this runs on locks itself. I've just read that ClickYes doesn't
work when the machine is locked and I'm guessing that this is what's
causing all my problems at present.

I'm using Access 97 on NT4 in a corporate environment - hence no way to
stop the machine from locking. Can anyone confirm that ClickYes works
in this way and if so has anyone found a work around? Seems a shame
that such a good program has an achilies heel of the machine locking.

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Brad

Instead of Express Click Yes, try Advanced Security v1.2 for Outlook.
It is freeware by MAPILAB. It will prompt the user that a program is
trying to send automatic emails and ask the user to allow it. The user
can click onetime only or always allow access. I use this and really
like it. I usually send about 100 automatic emails at a time and this
app always works without flaw.

Thanks Pat,

Do you know if it continues to work while the machine is locked?

Back again,

I'm now considering the idea that I'm not going to get this working so
am trying to look for alternatives to doing this. Basically the
requirements are that my Access 97 (NT4) program can send email even
when the machine is locked.

I've come across something called CDONTS, which I've read some articles
on but don't seem to be able to get it working. Can anyone tell me if
this would work on a client machine? Most of the articles I've read
refer to server implimentations but I have the reference in Access so
am wondering if this'll work on a client terminal.

Thanks,

Brad
