Word to Email Macro Broken By OE Securty Update

Word to Email Macro Broken By OE Securty Update

I'm gonna have trouble explaining this... but my most recent security 
updates put a newer version of msoe.dll in the Outlook Express folder. Now
my Word 97 macros don't work unless I replace it with the older version.

Specifically, the Word macro takes the current document and saves it as an 
outgoing email. But with this new msoe.dll OE opens the message as a 
*received* email.

Any idea if I'm asking for trouble by using the older version of the dll? My 
guess is that the security patch is trying to prevent exactly this sort of 
thing... hacking in to send an email. But it's odd that we should no longer 
be able to automatically create and send email.

TIA for any advice.

Regards,
John Ciccone

Are you still using Word97 and Outlook Express from Office 97?

Can you post the bit of code you use to do that (the saving as and sending 
of email)

Salut, Jean-Guy. Thanks for your reply.

I'm using OE 6. Most current.

The code goes a little like this:

===========================================

If FilName$ = "aaa.doc" Or FilName$ = "bbb.doc" Then
        ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="C:\Documents and Settings\All 
Users\Desktop\" + IDNumName$ + ".eml", FileFormat _
        :=wdFormatText, LockComments:=False, Password:="", 
AddToRecentFiles:=True _
        , WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, 
EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _
        False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
        SaveAsAOCELetter:=False
End If

    ActiveWindow.Close

    RetVal = Shell("C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe 
/eml:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\" + IDNumName$ + ".eml", 
vbNormalFocus)

===========================================

Sorry, can't really help you here, never tried to use Shell to activate OE 
(or Outlook) and send an email.
I have always use the default email manger on the system.

Have you had a look at
    http://word.mvps.org/faqs/interdev/sendmail.htm
It may provide some answers or an alternative.

Re: Word to Email Macro Broken By OE Securty Update

Thank you John-Guy, but those code examples send as attachment. In any 
event, it turns out that the msoe.dll problem is a known bug with this 
security patch. Microsoft is aware.

Thanks again.
