Issue with Multiple Mail Attachments

Cyberghost

Hi

I have been playing around with the Email routines in NAV, specifically the Mail codeunit 397 and trying to send multiple attachments by Outlook.

However, what seems to be a simple modification is being anything but!

I have added a function which is based on the standard CreateAndSendMessage function, but accepts an Array of AttachFilenames. This then calls the standard AttachFile function in a loop. See below.

LOCAL CreateAndSendMessageMultipleAttachments(ToAddresses : Text;CcAddresses : Text;BccAddresses : Text;Subject : Text;Body : Text;AttachFilenames : ARRAY [4] OF Text;ShowNewMailDialogOnSend : Boolean;RunModal : Boolean) : Boolean
// -001
Initialize;

CreateMessage(ToAddresses,CcAddresses,BccAddresses,Subject,Body,ShowNewMailDialogOnSend,RunModal);

FOR Loop := 1 TO 4 DO 
  IF AttachFilenames[Loop] <> '' THEN 
    AttachFile(AttachFilenames[Loop]);
      
EXIT(Send);
// +001

AttachFile(Filename : Text)
Initialize;

IF Filename <> '' THEN
  OutlookMessageHelper.AttachmentFileNames.Add(Filename);

However when attaching the second file NAV or Outlook seem to get it's knickers in a twist and comes up with the following error.

Microsoft Outlook is not available.

Do you want to continue to edit the e-mail?


I haven't been able to resolve this so thought I'd see if anyone had any clues. We are using NAV 2016 and Outlook 2013.

I have this working via SMTP but also need to have it working via Outlook.

Thanks in advance.

I resolved this. It turned out to be an error with the file and an unhelpful error message

Had the same problem. And you answer was helpfull.
The filename must be a reference to a client file.

Microsoft Outlook is not available error can also be because of "old" subkeys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} / HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\TypeLib\{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} if you have/had multiple versions of Outlook installed.
