Runtime e-mail still displays "Send on Behalf" Message

[Eka1618]

Hello,

I have recently split my DB and several users are working on a runtime
version of Access 2007. The code I have written to send e-mails eliminated
the message that pops up when you try to send and e-mail without editing it
first: "A program is trying to send an e-mail on your behalf..."

The code only seems to eliminate the message for users who have the full
version of Access 2007. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
Below is a sample of how I am sending e-mails. If anyone knows how to solve
the runtime issue, please let me know. I do not want to use "Click Yes" or
"Redemption" methods.

Thank You!

Thank you for the advice Rick.

My code does turn off that message for those who have a full version of
Access. It took me a long time to figure out how to code it, but I eventually
got it.

Anyway, I am going to have someone check their virus protection to see if
that is the issue.

If anyone else has suggestions, please let me know, Thank You!

Sorry, but that is standard Outlook automation code you are using. It does
nothing to inhibit the security warnings on a system that woudl normally
display them. If you don't get them on some machines it's for the reason I
stated in my previous post.

 

[Eka1618]

What are you sorry about?? Because it took me so long to figure out that
simple code? LOL

I am an Intern and I work independently on this project. I am new to
programming in Access so I do not know everything yet and I do not have many
resources...

I hope that it is the security issue, but with my luck it will be a runtime
issue. When we first got the DB split and up on the network, I had to add in
all kinds of Refrence dowloads in the instalation package because it was not
available in runtime version, so I wouldn't doubt that this issue is cause by
runtime.

I was just pointing out that while your code accomplishes the task of
sending an Email message via Outlook it does nothing to suppress the
security warning. If you have some PCs getting the warning and some that do
not it has nothing to do with your code because your code is not the reason
why some computers are not getting the warning.

OH I C...

Well, I understand that it is probably a security issue. I also know that
the code did make the message dissapear and that is why I thought that there
could be some more code to add to what I already have to make it dissapear in
the runtime version.

I say that the code made it go away because I used to use SendObject. Since
the users here have Outlook, the message always appeared because I was not
defining who was sending the e-mail message (or who it was sent on behalf
of). So I looked up other methods to send the e-mail and chose the code that
you saw. Once I got that code working, the message dissapeared on my machine
and on all others who have the full version. This is why I believed (and
still do) that the code had something to do with it.

Do you think that the best way to get rid of it is using "Click Yes" or
something? I would prefer not to. I don't even know what my boss will want to
do if we cannot resolve this issue, we can always use .display and they can
send messages by viewing it first, but they would be better off just clicking
yes when the message appears....

I guess only time will tell

When I send a message that is not shown to the user first I don't use
Outlook. I use CDOsys which is a messaging library found on all Windows
versions 2000 and higher. It does not produce the security warnings.

 

[Eka1618]

Rick,

That would be a good option as well. I do not know anything about it, but
I'm going to look into it. We do believe that the warnings are most likely a
windows security issue, someone else is currently looking into it.

Thanks again for the help!
