Hi chaps!

I am looking for a guide of the Outlook Automation to see if there is any function to be able to send e-mails from Navision with more than 260 characters in the body.

I can't believe it's so restricted! :twisted:

All the stuff downloaded from MSDN is quite technical but maybe not enough.

Can anybody give a clue? :whistle:

    You can change or write your own "NewMessage" function in CU397 (Mail) for doing this. You don't need any magic for this, but yes, you'll have to write your own.

    You must write your own ocx with a function like this

    Public Sub AniadirLineaMensaje(linea As String)
    Cuerpo = Cuerpo + linea + vbLf + vbCr
    End Sub
    Then in the main send function write:

    ...
    MAPIMensaje.MsgNoteText = Cuerpo
    ...

    Waldo: No it cannot! the BSTR var which is the one that receives the string is actually limited to 255 chars so I can't! :(

    Alejandro: Thanks but how can I create my own OCX if it's the Microsoft's API for Outlook? :-k

    Is it possible to modify Office's DLL's :shock: :shock: :shock: ???

    All I could do is to create a wrapping that would pass to the Automation the whole text made up of lines but I would never be able to do so if the original function doesn't allow to send more than a BSTR (in other words, I need another function)

    I can't believe it's so limited... :roll: c'mon...

    I looked a little bit closer to our solution and you're right, sorry :oops: .

    Writing a wrapper is a way to go ... or ... did you try using the smtp-ocx? There is much info about this on the forum.

    Your own ocx must be a wrapper of course, I have already write one some years ago, I can send it to you if you want. The inconvenient of this solution is that you must register it in each Navision client :(
