sending email from outlookwhen I put the asp.net code up to the production web server. Theerror I get is System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: COM Object ... is either not valid or not registered. What am I missing? My code: Public Function CallOutlook() Dim oOutlook As New Outlook.Application() Dim oMailitem As Outlook.MailItem oMailitem = oOutlook.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) oMailitem.To = a@a.com oMailitem.Cc = b@b.com oMailitem.Subject = "Email Integration with Outlook and VB.Net" oMailitem.Display() End Function "KatMagic" <SSKatMa***@yahoo.com> wrote in message Well, first things first, why are you trying to instantiate Outlook on a web news:eX8vDXVzGHA.4932@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > What am I missing? server...? Because we have a web application where we want our users to click on a link
to open an outlook email and send an email. What other reason would there be. This is an internal server, not used by anyone other than our own employess.

absolutely nothing for a user because it is on the web server. This is not going to create an outlook email that the user can do anything with. This is trying to instantiate an instance of Outlook on the web server itself. The user would never see this and it wouldn't open an email for the user since it is not going to happen on the users computer. The best thing you can do is to create a hyperlink and use the "mailto:" version so that it will open an email message in the user's default email client. You can specify one user to send it to as follows: mailt***@b.com The specifications say that you cannot use more than one address to send to, though a lot of people do this simply by adding comma's between them. This is not supported though and is not part of the RFC that governs how a URL should appear so use a comma delimited list with caution. You can add a subject by placing ?subject= followed by the subject like so: mailt***@b.com?subject=Email Integration with Outlook and VB.Net The subject isn't supported either, but a lot of clients do support it.

from a windows app. However, when I search for "Using Outlook with ASP.NET", this is the code I got. But thanks for making this clear. I get it now. This is just what I needed!

are calling display, which if it worked (won't because web apps do not have access o the desktop) , wuld popup the mail dialog on the server. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) Show quote "KatMagic" <SSKatMa***@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:eX8vDXVzGHA.4932@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > The following code wrks fine when running from my pc (localhost); but > errors when I put the asp.net code up to the production web server. > Theerror I get is System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: COM Object > ... is either not valid or not registered. > > What am I missing? > > > My code: > Public Function CallOutlook() > > Dim oOutlook As New Outlook.Application() > > Dim oMailitem As Outlook.MailItem > > oMailitem = oOutlook.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) > > oMailitem.To = a@a.com > > oMailitem.Cc = b@b.com > > oMailitem.Subject = "Email Integration with Outlook and VB.Net" > > oMailitem.Display() > > End Function > > > > > >  |
