I am using code copied at end of this message to try and change the
"send
from" account. Code is based on Sue Mosher's Book example. For some
reason
the Send From address does not change. The problem appears to be that
the Send From Account does not get changed even throug the line is run.
I have tried this code on Outlook 2000/ 2002


Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Neil


Option Explicit
Const ACCT_TO_USE = "Someaccount"


Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As
Boolean)
'How can we get the name of the account that will be used to send


Dim objInsp As Outlook.Inspector
Dim colCB As Office.CommandBars
Dim objCBAccounts As Office.CommandBarPopup
Dim objCBB As Office.CommandBarButton
Dim blnAccountFound As Boolean


Set objInsp = Item.GetInspector
Set colCB = objInsp.CommandBars
Set objCBAccounts = colCB.FindControl(ID:=31224)
Set objCBB = objCBAccounts.Controls.Item(1)


If Not objCBB Is Nothing Then
If objCBB.Caption ACCT_TO_USE Then
Set objCBB = Nothing
For Each objCBB In objCBAccounts.Controls
If InStr(1, objCBB.Caption, ACCT_TO_USE, vbTextCompare)
0
Then
blnAccountFound = True
Err.Clear
objCBB.Execute


Exit For
End If
Next
End If


If blnAccountFound = False Or Err.Number 0 Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If


Set objInsp = Nothing
Set colCB = Nothing
Set objCBAccounts = Nothing
Set objCBB = Nothing


End Sub

That technique won't work if Word is the email editor. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=889 for various other approaches .
