Hi All,

From NI discussiion forum posts,i got one vi to send email.

Then the vi run without error but fails to send mails.

I tried to send mail to outlook express.

I am herewith attaching the vi i got frm ni discussion group.

This vi able to send mail to outlook express only or to any?

Can somebody help me in finding why the application failed to send mail to outlook express.

I have to set up something?I havent done anything other than executing the vi.

I don't think you understand the basics of the ActiveX functions. The VI is not sending to Outlook Express, it is using Outlook's ActiveX interface to start it and then send an email. You might want to talk to your IS department to set up Outlook Express as your email client. I know there are some changes to the security settings that have to be made though I don't remember exactly what. You must have only the base version of LabVIEW because all other versions include SMTP mail functions.

Hi,

what is told u is correct.

Today only i started to go through activeX,i was involved in some other database oriented applications.So ofcourse i have to learn before i have to use ActiveX.

Without using ActiveX i just managed to send mail.But i dont know to what extend it will be usable.I have to check more.

From where i can get good tutorials on ActiveX.

Thanks

Hi User_1,

I have two good examples here for you.  The first is a general ActiveX tutorial and the second is specific to LabVIEW and Microsoft Outlook.  The code is nearly identical to the example you found - you may want to confirm your network settings in Outlook.

ActiveX and LabVIEW

Thanks!
