This might not be the answer you're looking for, but why not just
leave Outlook open?

Try putting a .send at the end of your With.

How are you early binding your objOL, I try that and am informed that excel
doesn't know about the Outlook class. and have to dimension as an Object and
use CreateObject.

Hi. In Outlook on the Tools Menu choose Options. Click the Mail Setup tab -
is "Send immeadiately when connected" selected? Might help.

if his situation is like mine;
I developed an Access application that has multiple users and I can
not make the assumption that all the users will have Outlook open so
when entering data on the Access data entry screen should they click
the 'Notify Manager' button I want the Noticification email to be send
in the background without user interaction and without having to
ensure that Outlook is open which so far I have NOT been able to do
using Outlook as the companies EMail client software.
So the issue is why does Outlook but the email message in it's outbox
instead of just sending it.

I understand your (and everyone else's) concern regarding this issue,
but there is a solution: leave Outlook open. Who doesn't leave it open
all day to get meeting reminders, receive important emails from the
boss, etc anyway?

If you want to send an email without user interaction, and you must
use Outlook, try using Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/
redemption/). Or see http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm for other
tips.

As a workaround, use GetObject to see if Outlook is open, and if it
isn't, warn your end users (via MsgBox) that without Outlook open,
their messages will be delayed.

You're in Excel, trying to use code written for Outlook. You need to
create an instance of Outlook.Application, then use that reference.

i.e.

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oItem = olApp.CreateItem(0) 'Create a new message

Hi adma.

I was just browsing Outlook Object Model and found this

Sub SendAndReceive(showProgressDialog As Boolean)
Member of Outlook.NameSpace

Remembering your request you could try objOL.Namespace.SendAndRecieve(False)

No Guarantees as I haven't used it. (You might test Namespace to see if its
null though.)

Another glance at the Outlook object browser would tell you why it won't
work: There is no Application.Namespace property. There is, however, an
Application.Session property that returns a Namespace object, thus:
objOL.Session.SendAndReceive(False), assuming you have a valid objOL
(Outlook.Application) object.
