Dear R:Base friends - I posted this question three weeks ago and many of your
were kind enough to reply. Immediately thereafter, I began dealing with a
family emergency that has taken most of my time. I kept your answers in my
Outlook Express inbox, but, as good old MS software is wont to do, when I
checked today all the answers were gone - not in the inbox or deleted messages
file.
So I beg your indulgence as I post the question yet again!
I'm revisiting an application created some time ago in R:Base 7.5. I have a
menu item that is supposed to allow the user of the application to send an
email to me requesting help. This is the EEP that I wrote and worked at the
time I created it:
SET VAR vParameters TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vQuote TEXT = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vDummy TEXT = 'vDummy'
SET VAR vPipe TEXT = '|'
SET VAR vTo TEXT = 'To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
SET VAR vSubject TEXT = 'Subject:Help
SET VAR vParameters = +
(.vQuote+.vDummy&.vPipe+.vTo&.vPipe+.vSubject+.vQuote)
CLS
PLUGIN MAPIMAIL2.RBL &vParameters
CLEAR VAR vParameters, vQuote, vPipe, vTo, vSubject, vAttachments
RETURN
Running it under 7.6, I get first a Windows error message: "No profiles have
been created. To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in the Control
Panel." This is followed by the R:Base 7.6 error message: "MAPI: Login
Failure: ErrorCode = 3".
When I go to the icon in the Control panel, the only options there refer to MS
Outlook, which is not my email application (I use Outlook Express and I'm sure
other users who will use this application down the road cannot be assumed to
use Outlook Express).
I have tried using MAPIMAIL3 and 4 - no difference.
I've been unable to find help on this issue under R:Base Help (MAPMAIL rbl's
are not listed under PlugIns), Razzak's Sample applications web site or his
"From the Edge" site. Can anyone direct me to the the right place to get help
on this issue? Or provide a solution?
PS: I'm not ruling out the possibility that issue is NOT an R:Base issue: that
my PC somehow thinks Outlook is my default email application instead of Outlook
Express, which is the one I actually use. Anyone know how to use Windows to
check that?
(Windows help is mum on the subject..)
