I have an application that sends emails through Outlook. I now want to add additional recipients that will go in the Cc: list. I cannot figure out how to control where the recipient goes. The example in VB is:

set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add (email address)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC

I can get the list of recipients in my RECIPIENTS-HANDLE in my program, but they are all in the To: list, I cannot figure out how to set the type. The .def is:

* OlMailRecipientType
CLASS @OlMailRecipientType
CLSID, 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
NAME, "OlMailRecipientType"
* "long olOriginator"
ENUMERATOR, @olOriginator, 0
* "long olTo"
ENUMERATOR, @olTo, 1
* "long olCC"
ENUMERATOR, @olCC, 2
* "long olBCC"
ENUMERATOR, @olBCC, 3

I do not know how to use this to modify which recipients I want to add to my message.

TIA,
Rebekah

    I can do this, the biggest issue is that you can only have one To and one CC recipient this way.

    Going through VB, you can use this code:

    set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add (email address)
    objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC

    To have multiple addresses, you can keep using the .Add method over and over again for new contacts. I can also do this in Cobol, but they all go into the To field. I want to be able to set them in the CC field and can't figure out how to control the type in Cobol as you can in VB.

    (Maybe I didn't explain it well enough).

    Sorry, didn't read the question properly.

    Unfortunately I don't know the answer.

    Try having a dig around the sample programs on Acucorp's website
    I'll also have a look at other samples I've downloaded over time also.

    You are closer to the answer than you think.

    77 objOutlookRecip USAGE HANDLE OF RECIPIENT.
    ...
    MODIFY MailItem Recipients::Add ([EMAIL="John@yahoo.com"]John@yahoo.com[/EMAIL]) giving objOutlookRecip.
    MODIFY objOutlookRecip @Type = olCC.
    MODIFY MailItem Recipients::Add (George[EMAIL="George@yahoo.com"]@yahoo.com[/EMAIL]) giving objOutlookRecip.
    MODIFY objOutlookRecip @Type = olCC.
    MODIFY MailItem Recipients::Add (Gloria[EMAIL="Gloria@yahoo.com"]@yahoo.com[/EMAIL]) giving objOutlookRecip.
    MODIFY objOutlookRecip @Type = olCC.
    MODIFY MailItem Recipients::Add (Mary[EMAIL="Mary@yahoo.com"]@yahoo.com[/EMAIL]) giving objOutlookRecip.
    MODIFY objOutlookRecip @Type = olCC.


    Some may ask if it should not be necessary to DESTROY the objOutlookRecip handle for each, but it is not, because it is just a copy to the reference of the object, not the dispatch itself.

    This worked great. I had not thought of creating a separate handle when I added a recipient. Thanks so much.

    The reason that I tend to use the ';' seperated email addresses for multiple recipients or multiple 'CC' or 'BCC' is that I have run into some trouble with setting/adding recipients as described in this post, where outlook has given me error messages relating to 'you are not authorised to send to this recipient'. I never found out why this was but as the ';' seperated option works fine I did not really care.

    I will keep that in mind. I have a pretty large group of users using this, and I never know what I will run into with their PC's, security settings, etc. So, you are right, I could have an issue with different users. I will keep that in mind in case someone has problems with the CC addresses.
