Turn application visibility off
 

I'm writing some VBA code in Excel that needs to send data to Word and then
send out the Word documents as attachments to emails. In Word VBA I can say
something like

Application.Visible=False

and this will create the documents in the background without the user seeing
everything happening. When it comes to send the emails, the email pops up on
the screen before it sends out. I can't find a Visible-equivalent method for
the Outlook application. Is there a way to set Outlook or the mailitem object
to not display itself?

Turn application visibility off
 

No MailItem object is shown unles you explicitly call MailItem.Display.
What exactly do you see and how do you create and send messages?

It's probably a Simple MAPI Inspector. Not much you can do with that other
than use the OOM instead of a Simple MAPI call.
