Re: Sending mail in outlook

I'm no expert on M$ (avoiding like the plague if at all possible), however I'd suggest that the result of the statement:

my $item = $Outlook->CreateItem(0);  # 0 = mail item.
[download]

is an object, not a hash ... as you are attempting to update. Maybe something along the lines of (untested as I don't have a Windoze box)

$item->Subject($mail_props{'subject'} || '[No Subject]');
[download]

. instead of

$item->{'Subject'} = $mail_props{'subject'} ||
                     '[No Subject]';
[download]

Just a thought ...

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

Tried that but comes up with the same error message. The line that it seems to have trouble with is `$item->{'From'} = $mail_props{'to'};`	[reply] [d/l]

Have you tried the object browser to inspect the prototype for the method ? AFAIR, it (the object browser) is one of the 'tools' available when Excel is running... A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]
