Database Forum / Paradox Topics / July 2008How to open OutlookExpress on a specific account?
My problem is simple, but i don't Know how to do it: If i have this code on a button: method pushButton(var eventInfo Event) execute("C:\\Program Files\\Outlook Express\\msimn.exe", Yes, ExeShowNormal) endMethod I can open Outlook Express from Paradox, but OE is always opened on a default account what I want to do is to open OE on a specific account I don'know how to do it i.e Regis home account: with this e-mail regis.home@myfai.fr login regishome, password: azerty Regis professional account e-mail regisprof@myfai.fr login regispro, password qwerty and so on... Any ideas how to do it Thanks in advance Régis I forgot to mention: XP and not Vista, P10 .0.0.719 and BDE 5.1.1.1 Outlook Express 6.00.2600 > My problem is simple, but i don't Know how to do it: > If i have this code on a button: [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Thanks in advance > Régis Bonsoir ! OE ne pouvant pas être piloté par COM / OLE-automation, il reste la solution des sendkeys. Malheureusement, il y a des variations. Par exemple, une identité peut avoir, ou non, un mot de passe. Et, la position dans la liste n'est pas garantie. Bref, ce n'est pas très simple. Car il faut alors analyser le contenu textuel des contrôles, chose pas évidente. Bon courage. MCI Simple translation appended below for non-french speakers apologies for my rusty french, I disclaim all responsibility for any and all consequences resulting from my translation attempt. Read it at your peril. > Bonsoir ! > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > MCI Good evening OE cannot be driven by COM / OLE-automation, there remains the solution of using sendkeys. Unfortunately, there are some variations (alternatives?). For example, an identity can have, or not (have), a password. And, the position within the list isn't guaranteed. In brief, it isn't very simple, because it is then necessary to analyse the text output of the tests, something that is not obvious. Good luck and good luck to you from me as well. Anne /profile profilename Loads the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks. This is a command line switch. Works for Outlook, not sure about Express.  Signature------------------------------ Tony McGuire Is the real question how to SEND or RECEIVE mail on a specific account? Or truly how to just open OE with a specified account active? Signature------------------------------ Tony McGuire My question is just to Open OE on a specified account, because if you can open it, you can send and receive using OE interface. the true question is how to eliminate SPAM easily. My first step is To scan all messages from the server (I have a dozen accounts) I use The Michel Claveau AntiSPAM program that read only the subject of the message I delete automatically 60/70 percent of messages The step two is to delete NON-obvious spam and the quickest solution is to Open OE and manually delete these messages I don't know about /profile command and OE. Régis > Is the real question how to SEND or RECEIVE mail on a specific account? > Or truly how to just open OE with a specified account active? TRY THIS ------------ 'IDforOE.vbs - Force Outlook Express 5 to prompt for an Identity Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") 'Clear the values from the registry WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last Username", "" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last User ID", "" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Default User ID", "" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Start As", "" 'Launch Outlook Express WSHShell.Run "Msimn.exe" ----------------- put this in a text file call something.vbs run it (you can have pdox run it) this code blanks the current user (the default user is not always current depending on your settings) but you can fill in the user you want in the quotes after each value and when run it "presets" what OE will open as... you may have to fiddle with the other oe options of each identity > My problem is simple, but i don't Know how to do it: > If i have this code on a button: [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Thanks in advance > Régis > 'Clear the values from the registry > WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last Username", "" > WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last User ID", "" > WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Default User ID", "" > WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Start As", "" So you could just use Paradox to setRegistryValue() on each of those (instead of RegWrite) prior to opening OE. You could, then, even getRegistryValue() on each of the above and reset to whatever they were after OE was closed. Or not? Signature------------------------------ Tony McGuire Yes, I use this code, not directly in Paradox, but I change the OE icon to pint to this script, so every time a user on a shared PC hits the icon it asks them which account they want to use... they have several generic "receiver accounts". You probably could have pdox do this, or preload the identity, etc... lots of variations.... >> 'Clear the values from the registry >> WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last Username", "" [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Or not? > My problem is simple, but i don't Know how to do it: > If i have this code on a button: [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Thanks in advance > Régis Regis, Are you aware that the version of OE you are using is well out of date and has many security issues etc etc. So any testing you do for that version will most likely not work if you update to the latest version of OE because under Windows XP SP2 Outlook Express is broken and logging in/out and switching identities often fails - I know because I use OE constantly. Have you investigated the OE message rules. I used to get approx 2000 spam messages a day until I started to use the message rules and have OE delete them automatically, now only a few a day (may 3 or 4) slip through. Leslie. |
