How to get own default e-mail address ?

[JailDoctor]

The msgbox example I listed as working is not for AutoIt, but for Visual Basic for Apps (VBA),and it works just fine.

I need the AutoIt version of the same thing.

Error message:

==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

$sAccount = $oAccount.Getnamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser.Name

$sAccount = $oAccount.Getnamespace("MAPI")^ ERROR

Did you try my short code example? You need to run it with the Outlook application object as returned by _OL_Open, not the account object as in your example.

[JailDoctor]

Ok, so this is what I have and I still don't get it.

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
$oOutlook = _OL_Open(True)
MsgBox (0, "", $oOutlook.Getnamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser.Name)
$oOutlook = _OL_Open(False)

I get this error:

=> Object referenced outside a "With" statement.:

MsgBox (0, "", $oOutlook.Getnamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser.Name)

MsgBox (0, "", $oOutlook.Getnamespace("MAPI")^ ERROR

->09:34:03 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

Looks like a problem mit MAPI. Another try:

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
_OL_ErrorNotify(2)
$oOutlook = _OL_Open(True)
$oNS = $oOutlook.Getnamespace("MAPI")
$oCU = $oNS.CurrentUser
$sName = $oCU.Name
MsgBox (0, "", $sName)
$oOutlook = _OL_Close($oOutlook)

[JailDoctor]

It seems it is something with MAPI:

: ==> Error in expression.:

$oNS = $oOutlook.Getnamespace("MAPI")

$oNS = ^ ERROR

->11:40:05 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

>Exit code: 1 Time: 2.119

Do you connect to an Exchange server with your Outlook client?

[JailDoctor]

Yes, I do.

[water]

Did you run my example from post #64? It shouldn't crash but give a MsgBox with complete COM error information.

[JailDoctor]

Yes and I got the error posted in #65

[water]

I don't get it. My code in post #64 creates a COM error handler so the script shouldn't crash any longer.

Let's add some more error checking:

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
_OL_ErrorNotify(2)
If @error then Exit Msgbox(0, "Error", "Error returned by _OL_ErrorNotify: @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
$oOutlook = _OL_Open(True)
If @error then Exit Msgbox(0, "Error", "Error returned by _OL_Open: @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
$oNS = $oOutlook.Getnamespace("MAPI")
$oCU = $oNS.CurrentUser
$sName = $oCU.Name
MsgBox (0, "", $sName)
$oOutlook = _OL_Close($oOutlook)

[JailDoctor]

Here is the error message:

Error returned by _OL_Open: @error = 5, @extended =0

???

What is @error 5 and @extended 0?

[water]

Check the help file for _OL_Open or have a look at the function header in OutlookEX.au3:

5 - File $sWarningProgram does not exist. Has to be an executable that can be startet using the run command

With

$oOutlook = _OL_Open(True)

you tell the function to use the @ScriptDir & "\_OL_Warnings.exe". This program can't be found.

Try to use

$oOutlook = _OL_Open()

[JailDoctor]

That was it Water, thanks.

I checked my "Autoit3" folders and there was no "_OL_Warnings.exe" file. So leaving the () blank did the trick.

Thanks again.

Glad your problem could be solved
