I am using VB code and MAPI controls like the following, in part: With frmMAPI.mapiMsg .Compose .RecipDisplayName = SupportEmailAddress .RecipAddress = SupportEmailAddress .MsgSubject = sSubject .MsgNoteText = sMessageBody .Send True End With This is working fine on systems not using Exchange. On Exchange systems, the RecipAddress properties are showing as follows (brackets denote text boxes): Display Name: [a@xxxxx] E-mail address: [a@xxxxx] E-mail type: [A@xxxxx] with the trailing button labeled 'Internet type' Internet format: [Send using Outlook Rich Text Format] Now if the email is sent as is, it will bounce. If the user clicks on 'Internet type', E-mail type changes to SMTP (as it should be) and the mail sends correctly. If the users retypes the email address, the mail sends correctly. I do not see where I can set E-mail Type property from the MAPI control. I tried setting up an address book entry, but the E-mail type field still was wrong. Client's Email - Outlook 2000 App coded in VB 6.0 SP5 with MS MAPI controls 6.0 Any bright light pointing the correct way will be appreciated. Thank you. Steve Bunnell steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
