You cannot just send as someone from the GAL unless your admins have granted
you SendAs rights on all those mailboxes. If you have "sales" and have
SendAs for "sales" then if you enter that in From it will work. Otherwise it
will fail or be sent on behalf of "sales", depending on what permissions are
there.

"Wanda" wrote in message
news
I understand that the "mid" coding that I did was somehow generating the
automatic email to one of our National mailboxes. I created a button and
choosing the field FROM from the "frequently-used fields". I also
created a
text field and pulling in the value = FROM, the Type = Recipient, the
Format
= From Only. This is good, but when the button is launched (from a
message
template), in the text field it reports back with "on behalf of NAME".
It
pulls the name you select from the global address book, but not sure why
if
puts "on behalf of" in front of the selected name? I can't seem to creat
a
field that will parse out "on behalf of" and put the text of just the name
selected. Any suggestion?

Thanks.
Wanda
