Automatically send email by Outlook 2002 from Project 2002
Hi Alan
You'll need to read up on Office Automation. Basically
you use Project as the automation controller and launch
Outlook as the automation server using Project VBA. You
need to include a reference to the Outlook library in your
Project 2000 VBA project, then you'll be able to write VBA
procedures in Project 2002 which call the VB
methods/properties/etc of Outlook 2002 to send e-mail
programmatically.
I wish you luck as automation can be tricky!
PS: doesn't the in-built mailing in Project 2002 handle
something like this? - I don't know as I'm still on
Project 98 which has a TeamUpdate function to notify
project members of changes in tasks etc.
Regards
Harry
