I am considering purchaing Redemption. Can someone tells me what happens to
an email created and sent via redemption if the user does not have Outlook
open? Does Outlook open automatically to send the email or is the email sent
regardless of whether Outlook is open or closed. Thanks.

It all depends on how you code it. You usually declare an Outlook
Application variable like this:

Dim objOLApp As New Outlook.Application

If Outlook is already open, it doesn't create a new instance of Outlook.
Otherwise, Outlook loads into memory but isn't visible. If you want it to be
visible, it won't be until you instantiate a new Explorer object and display
it. To do what you want, just instantiate Outlook as above, send an e-mail
using Redemption, call Application.Quit (and set your Application variable to
Nothing) and the user will never see Outlook open at all. You might have to
force a Send/Receive though, or else the e-mail will remain in the Outbox.
 
Thank you very much for the info.
