I read the information here:
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52

It is very interesting. Maybe I missed something, but I still can't seem to
disable the Outlook Object Model Guard. I am sending multiple emails from
Excel. code is below:
Sub Send_Files()
'Working in 2000-2007
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range, FileCell As Range, rng As Range




With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With



Set sh = Sheets("Send Emails")


Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")


For Each cell In sh.Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)



'Enter the file names in the C:Z column in each row
Set rng = sh.Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("C1:Z1")



If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0 Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)



With OutMail
objMailItem.To = cell.Value
'.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "Sales Reps. Data"
.Body = "Hi " & cell.Offset(0, -1).Value

For Each FileCell In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Trim(FileCell) <> "" Then
If Dir(FileCell.Value) <> "" Then
.Attachments.Add FileCell.Value
End If
End If
Next FileCell

.Send 'Or use Display
End With



Set OutMail = Nothing
End If
Next cell



Set OutApp = Nothing


With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub


Is there any way to disable that Model Guard with code?

Thanks,

If you read that page, you'd know that the object model guard can't be disabled except by an Exchange administrator.

Your code creates a CDO.Message object but never sends it. That's an approach you can take, instead of using Outlook objects and getting prompts.
 
Thanks for the follow up Sue. I guess I still don't understand what makes
this work or not work. Not, I am using this code:

With OutMail
objMessage.To = cell.Value
objMessage.Subject = "Sales Reps. Data"
objMessage.Body = "Sales Reps. Data"

.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "Sales Reps. Data"
.Body = "Hi " & cell.Offset(0, -1).Value

For Each FileCell In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Trim(FileCell) <> "" Then
If Dir(FileCell.Value) <> "" Then
.Attachments.Add FileCell.Value
End If
End If
Next FileCell

objMessage.Send
End With

When code runs I get this:
Object doesn't support this property or method.

What am I doing wrong. If there is something specific that I need to know,
please tell me. I don't know much about Outlook at all.

Regards,
Ryan---
 
Which statement is raising the error? Why are you coding both the Outlook.MailItem, which you know will raise security prompts, and the CDO.Message, which won't?

I did some editing; still get errors.
Error occurs here:
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig


Entire macro:

Dim OutMail As Object
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range, FileCell As Range, rng As Range




With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With



Set sh = Sheets("Send Emails")

Set myMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")



For Each cell In sh.Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)


Set rng = sh.Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("C1:Z1")


If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0 Then




With cdoMessage
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig

I've hit a wall again. I've seen your name all over the Outlook-Programming
DGs. and I'll bet anything you know what to do from here Sue. I want to
learn this, so please tell me what to do to resolve the problem, or please
refer me to a resource on the web that explains what to do.

I don't do CDO for Windows programming. The page at http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cdo.htm is an excellent reference and shows how you need to provide configuration information about the SMTP server to be used for sending the message.

Good site Sue, unfortunately I still get an error...

Error says:
'The SendUsing configuration value is invalid'

This is the line that causes the error:
objMessage.Send

The Object Model Guard pops up again if I change the line to this:
..Send


Below is my full code:
Sub Send_Files()
'Working in 2000-2007
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range, FileCell As Range, rng As Range

With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With


Set sh = Sheets("Send Emails")


Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
'Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

For Each cell In sh.Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)



'Enter the file names in the C:Z column in each row
Set rng = sh.Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("C1:Z1")



If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0 Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)



With OutMail
objMessage.Subject = "Example CDO Message"
objMessage.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
objMessage.To = cell.Value
objMessage.TextBody = "This is some sample message text."


.To = cell.Value

End With

Set OutMail = Nothing
End If
Next cell



Set OutApp = Nothing
Set objCDOMail = Nothing

With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub

I am receptive to ideas...

Thanks to all who looked.

Go back to the article I suggested and look at the details for working with the Message.Configuration object and setting its field values.

Get rid of all that Outlook stuff. You are using CDO. CDO is independant of
Outlook.

Use ONLY CDO. Your warnings are popping up because you are trying to get
Outlook to send mail. Use only CDO. No Outlook.

Welcome to the party Paul. I believe there is a way to send multiple emails,
via Outlook, without those warnings popping up every 5 second, but I have
never actually done it. I tried your method, and eliminated all of the
Outlook references, and as far as I can tell now, I rely only on CDO to do
the job, but now I get an error message saying 'The 'Sendusing' configuration
is invalid.'.

Code breaks here:
myMail.Send


Entire macro here:
Sub Send_Files()

Dim OutMail As Object
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range, FileCell As Range, rng As Range


Set myMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject = "Sending email with CDO"

With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With


Set sh = Sheets("Send Emails")

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")


For Each cell In sh.Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)


Set rng = sh.Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("C1:Z1")



If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0 Then


With OutMail
myMail.To = cell.Value
myMail.Subject = "Sales Reps. Data"
myMail.TextBody = "Hi " & cell.Offset(0, -1).Value

For Each FileCell In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Trim(FileCell) <> "" Then
If Dir(FileCell.Value) <> "" Then
myMail.AddAttachment FileCell.Value
End If
End If
Next FileCell

myMail.Send
End With


Set OutMail = Nothing
End If
Next cell


Set myMail = Nothing


With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub

If anyone can tweak the code and get this thing to work I'd appreciate it.
My CDO ideas came from here:
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp

Remove this line. It serves no purpose:
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

As for the error message. Do you have the SMTP service running on your
machine? If not you'll have to use a remote server probably with
authentciation. See http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cdo.htm for examples on
how to do that.

As far as I know the only way to stop the security warnings is to self-host
your own security certificate. But then I'm not an Outlook or Office guy so
I could be wrong.
 
Ryan, Paul knows what he's talking about and has documented what you need to know in the article I suggested to you earlier at http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cdo.htm. The problem with your code is that you're still not setting the Message.Configuration details that make it possible for CDO to know what SMTP server address to send through.

You also ought to take out the With OutMail and End With statements, as they're confusing and add nothing to the code.
 
I’ve tried all sorts of things, but I still don't know how to set the
Message.Configuration details for CDO. Also, I don’t know if I am running
SMPT or not. I know almost nothing about programming Outlook. I just wanted
to help a few people in my office with some tasks around here. I've got it
working for the most part, but I just wanted to try to eliminate those
popups. I am sort of busy with other projects now, so I'll have to come back
to this sometime in the future. Thanks so much, Sue and Paul, for the
valiant effort. I wish I could have gotten it to work, but it doesn't seem
like it is going to happen anytime soon. I’ll take another crack at it
another time.

Regards,
Ryan---
 
Ok, I couldn't just leave it alone; I like to finish whatever I start.

I found this code:
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim mpfInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim obj As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Dim myOlSel As Outlook.Selection

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set mpfInbox = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

If mpfInbox.Items(1).Class = olMail Then
Set obj = mpfInbox.Items.Item(1)
MsgBox obj.SenderEmailAddress
End If


This causes a prompt that asks if a user would like to 'Allow Access for x
Minutes'. I thought, ok, good, I’d like to allow access for 1 minute, that's
all it will take to send my emails. I thought the Outlook security prompts
would be disabled for 1 minute, but no, another popup comes up and I have to
'Allow' all the email to be sent just like before, by clicking the 'Yes'
button each time. The code does give me my SMTP server address, right. I
think that’s what it is called.
obj.SenderEmailAddress

Also, to get Excel to cooperate with Outlook, I had to add this line back in:
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Well, I guess I made a little progress, but it still doesn’t do what I
envisioned it doing.
Any more suggestions, recommendations, etc.? Sorry for being so thick with
all this stuff.

Look in your mail account settings. If you're using POP3 or IMAP4 for mail accounts, you will also see outbound SMTP settings. If you are using Exchange, you will need to discuss things with your Exchange administrator.

As described in the article you were referred to at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=52, there are two types of prompts -- a time-limited prompt for access to address-limited information and a prompt for sending messages that appears for each message.

The sender's email address has nothing to do with the SMTP server that you would use to deliver an outgoing message. See my response to your other post.
 
After querying some great resources, both in my office and on the web, I've
come to the conclusion that this can't be done practically with our Outlook
mail system. The IT guys would have to give certain types of permission,
which they won't do, even if they did have time to do it. I could use other
technologies, but I really wanted to send the emails through Outlook, so I
could find certain files in my 'Sent Items' if I needed to. This is
certainly not possible with some of the other technology options at my firm,
because those other email tools literally bypass Outlook altogether.

Anyway, this was a great resource:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/cdo.htm

I learned a lot by reading the information here. I hope others can too...

Ryan---
