I was using Outlook express in my Forms 6i project and i'm able to send a mail from my system.  But i need to send that from other person who was an admin.

 

' I NEED TO ACCESS OTHER SYSTEM's OUTLOOK EXPRESS EMAIL-ID INORDER TO SEND MAIL TO OTHERS.  CAN U GIVE ME A SOLUTION PLEASE......'

Thank you.

Hi,
Try the following code:

DECLARE


OutlookApp OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
NameSpace OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
MailItem OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
OLEPARAM OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
Send OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
Attachments OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
Attachment_dummy OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
var1 varchar2(100);


Begin

--assign a value to the variable from the Oracle Form
-- var1 := :BLOCK5.txt5;

--but for testing, populate the variable 'by hand'
var1 := 'This is a test of Outlook from Oracle app.';

OutlookApp := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');


OLEPARAM := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;


OLE2.ADD_ARG(OLEPARAM,'MAPI');
NameSpace := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(OutlookApp,'GetNameSpace',OLEPARAM);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(OLEPARAM);


OLEPARAM := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(OLEPARAM,0);
MailItem := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(OutlookApp,'CreateItem',OLEPARAM);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(OLEPARAM);


OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(MailItem,'To','joe.leibowitz@afosr.af.mil');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(MailItem,'Subject','message testing Outlook
automation from Oracle');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(MailItem,'Body', 'hello again '||var1);


--add an attachment
Attachments := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(MailItem,'Attachments');
OLEPARAM := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(OLEPARAM,'C:chris_school.txt');
Attachment_dummy := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(Attachments,'add',OLEPARAM);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(OLEPARAM);


Send := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(MailItem,'Send');


--destroy objects
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(MailItem);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(NameSpace);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(OutlookApp);


END;

HTH
Regards
Himanshu

THANKS FOR REPLYING.

But, I know the mail concept in forms 6i and it was working property. But the problem is that, actually i was doing a project and i need to send a mail from other persons mail id. But, at present it was going from my id. So, Can u suggest a solution for this, how i can use from address in the mail such that the recipent can view the from address of the other person(Admin) but not mine. Hope u understood my query correctly. Please reply back. Thank u again for replying for my previous query.

Hi kashaw,

I suggest you to use the command line e-mail utility CmdEmail, using the utility, you can easily change the addresser of the mail. The CmdEmail Lite is free.

If interested, see http://www.lv2000.com/sendmail.htm
