 Extract to and cc from generated e-mail message You would want to review the "Recipients" collection of the item being sent
to get the names (possible email addresses). The problem with this though
however is that you might have to change the way you send email. For
example, if docmd.sendobject sends the message right way, you would have to
use the automation object exposed by Outlook to acquire the item from the
sent items folder and then review the collection.*
* Since Outlook 98's object model doesn't let you captured the send event
from VBA, you are going to have to write a custom form that captures the
Item_Send event to accomplish what you want and pass that information back
to you an activex dll.
I have written an activeX.dll that uses automation to Outlook98 to send
formatted e-mail messages. This dll is used by a database written in Access
97 (docmd.sendobject sends straight text only).
My problem is that I do have a pre-defined set of recipients for users, and
when they want to send messages, the to and cc fields are automatically
populated from the database.
However, sometimes, other addresses are manually added by the user(s), or
the default ones are
changed, etc., and this needs to be recorded in the database.
How can I get the values from the to and cc fields of the message when the
user clicks on the 'send' button?
thanks

Extract to and cc from generated e-mail message Thanks for that, Neo. I did think of that, but I was hoping for a simpler solution. I noticed that
there was a send event in the outlook component in object explorer - I was
hoping I could make use of that somehow.
I guess I could try your suggestion except that some users might have a long
list on messages in their sent items folder ...

Extract to and cc from generated e-mail message Unfortunately, Outlook 98 does not expose events to external applications like VB, VBA, Delphi, C++, .etc. The best you could do with your idea is create a custom Outlook form that captures the Item_Send event or develop an Exchange extension.

Extract to and cc from generated e-mail message Hi Neo I wouldn't like to create custom forms, because I presume that I would have to then configure each of the clients with that form (I may be wrong). I am, however, interested in developing an Exchange extension. The only problem is I don't know what it is! nor how to develop it! and will it allow me to send formatted e-mail messages? Got any hints?
thanks

Extract to and cc from generated e-mail message Try starting with
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/exchcli/_mapi1book_how_extensi...
k.htm on learning how to develop Exchange Extensions. Also, since this
interface involves the use of Extended MAPI, you will be able to send out
rich content.
