I have a client information database that I set up the ability to send emails from through outlook 2000 and everything was happy and working. I set that feature aside for a while to work on some other parts of the project and came back to enhance it. I now am using Outlook XP.

When the script executes, everything works great in Filemaker and then I get a message from Outlook saying that there is a program trying to send mail through it and asking if that is okay. If I say yes, the script ends and control flips back over to Filemaker, but the messages have not been sent.

Microsoft's help says that there is a edit message flag that has been set to NO and that is why mail is not being sent.

Has anyone else run into this issue or is there just something screwy in our installation of Outlook.

If it matters, my OS is win 2000.

Nope, don't have this problem. I have Outlook 2002 from OfficeXP on Win2000 Pro. This may sound like a stupid question, but is your email account set up properly through Outlook?

Outlook has been fine. Do you have all of the patches for Office installed? It sounds like there was a vulnerability in Outlook that one of the patches addressed and that might be what is causing my problem now.

This is tres frustrating, since my reason for building this into the solution is to make things easier for the users not harder. I want to avoid plugins as much as possible due to cost concerns.

Anyone else running into this problem, I found a techinfo article that talked about part of what is happening. I am still working on the other part.
