excel/outlook redux

[clvestin]

I am running Office 2003. Using the following code segment

Dim objOLapp As Object 'New Outlook.Application
Dim objmailitem As Object 'Outlook.MailItem
Dim myrecip As Object 'Outlook.Recipient
Set objOLapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'Set objOLapp = New Outlook.Application
Set objmailitem = objOLapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myrecip = objmailitem.Recipients.Add("joe blow")
myrecip.Resolve
With objmailitem

.To = Recipients
.Subject = " Morning Report"
.Attachments.Add "S:\PV\report.xls"
.Display
.Send
End With
Set objOLapp = Nothing
Set objmailitem = Nothing
Set myrecip = Nothing

I presumed that the set as new outlook would open the application. It doesn't seem to. The .display line does show the email.
The big issue facing me is that the mail does not send until i subsequently open Outlook and it performs a Send/Recieve. Outlook is set to send/recieve online/offline. Aware that the object model has a lot of new security restraints, but any suggestions for what should be a simple issue would be appreciated.

I resubmitted this request since the forum previously had a habit of kicking me.

This is what i have and it works fine
Sub Sendmail()
Dim olApp As Object
Set olApp = CreateObject("outlook.application")
With olApp.CreateItem(0)
.To = "xxx@xxx.com"
.Subject =
.Body =
.Send
End With
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

In your Outlook program:
Tools/Options....select the mail setup tab and make sure "send immediatly when connected" is checked.

Apparently, some sites advise to uncheck the Send immediately when connected tab, because of a bug in some Outlooks. Yeah, the code all looks good, but the mail won't send until i physically open Outlook. Seems odd that Outlook doesopen to resolve the addresses, but not to send the mail.
