I have a 32-bit VB6 application that uses Outlook Redemption to send out e-mails. This program has worked fine up to Outlook 2016, but some of my customers are losing the ability to e-mail through my program when they either upgrade to 2019 or get auto-updated on their Office 365 subscription.
A simplified version of my code:
Private Sub cmdSendMessage_Click()
Dim objSession As RDOSession
Dim objOutbox As RDOFolder
Dim objMessage As RDOMail
Dim objRecipient As RDORecipient
Dim strBody As String
100 On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
101 Set objSession = New RDOSession
102 objSession.Logon , , False, False
103 Set objOutbox = objSession.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox)
104 Set objMessage = objOutbox.Items.Add
105 Set objRecipient = objMessage.Recipients.Add(txtAddressTo.Text)
106 objRecipient.Resolve
107 strBody = "This is a test message--sent using Outlook Redemption." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Sent: " & Now & vbNewLine & _
"Sent from Computer: " & GetThisComputerName
109 With objMessage
110 .Subject = "Test Message - Outlook Redemption"
111 .Body = strBody
112 .Send
113 End With 'objMessage
114 objSession.Logoff
115 MsgBox "Message sent.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation
ExitRoutine:
201 Set objRecipient = Nothing
202 Set objMessage = Nothing
203 Set objOutbox = Nothing
204 Set objSession = Nothing
210 Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Err.Description & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Line " & Erl, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error in Execution"
Resume ExitRoutine
End Sub
I tried the program with the code above on a customer's machine running Outlook 2019 MSO (16.0.12527.20260) 32-bit with Windows 10, 1909 (18363.535) 64-bit and 32-bit Outlook Redemption 5.18. The program immediately crashes without an error message when I click the button to send this e-mail.
Does Outlook Redemption work at all with VB6 and the newer versions of Outlook? If so, what do I need to change in my application to make it work?
