SMS operation similar to Mailto:

[water]

Then let's try it another way:

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
Global $olMobileItemSMS = 8
Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
; Create an SMS message and provide a body text value.
$oSMS = $oOL.CreateItem($olMobileItemSMS)
If @error then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", "Error creating item. @error = " & @error)
$oSMS.Subject = "Test SMS"
$oSMS.Body = "Short Message Service (SMS) message from Outlook 2010."
; Display the Inspector
$oSMS.Display()

Im starting to feel bad now :-/

Error creating item. @error = -2147024809

Now we need some more error information:

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
#include <Debug.au3>
_DebugSetup()
_DebugCOMErrror()
Global $olMobileItemSMS = 8
Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
; Create an SMS message and provide a body text value.
$oSMS = $oOL.CreateItem($olMobileItemSMS)
If @error then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", "Error creating item. @error = " & @error)
$oSMS.Subject = "Test SMS"
$oSMS.Body = "Short Message Service (SMS) message from Outlook 2010."
; Display the Inspector
$oSMS.Display()

Should display all errors in a separate window.

not sure if the info is what you were hoping for?

 

[water]

I would have expected more detailed error messages. But I will check tomorrow when I return to my office.

Thank you Water. i am appreciative of your help.

There was a typo in my script (_DebugCOMErrror had 3 "r").
Could you please try again?

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
#include <Debug.au3>
_DebugSetup()
_DebugCOMError()
Global $olMobileItemSMS = 8
Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
; Create an SMS message and provide a body text value.
$oSMS = $oOL.CreateItem($olMobileItemSMS)
If @error then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", "Error creating item. @error = " & @error)
$oSMS.Subject = "Test SMS"
$oSMS.Body = "Short Message Service (SMS) message from Outlook 2010."
; Display the Inspector
$oSMS.Display()

When i run this script on my machine I get the same error code. But I'm sure this is caused by my Outlook not being configured for SMS.

This site exactly describes how to setup Outllok/Exchange for SMS:

Hi Water, 

Agreed the web link describes how to set up SMS as I have.

I already noticed the "rrr" typo so all information provided is correct.  apologies, i felt it rude to point it out given you have been so helpful.

Thank you.

 

 

[water]

No problem.
But you still get the same error code as I do? This error (and the german error message) means: Invalid Parameter.
So it seems Outlook no longer accepts this kind of parameter.

Which version of the Exchange Server do you run?

[Lights_On]

Hi Water,

I have runs the your reposed script just for certainty.  attached result for you.  I also follow the link here to determine exchange:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Determine-the-version-of-Microsoft-Exchange-Server-my-account-connects-to-D427465A-CE3B-42BD-9D83-C7D893D5D334

And i do not have a match.  My version is 15.1.xxx.xxx so non match any variant?  they are Office 365 accounts added to Outlook 2010 and the SMS is provided via another service provider.

 

 

[water]

Version 15.1 seems to be Exchange 2016. I get 14.3 for Exchange 2010.
Maybe there is a limitation not just for Outlook 2010 but for Exchange 2010 as well?

[Lights_On]

Yes this could be possible.  The details we seek to understand do not seem so well document to me - I have searched a fair bit before positing for support.

[water]

Maybe it is easier to install an internal SMS gateway or to use an external Mail-to-SMS-provider. As Outlook drops SMS/MMS support after Outlook 2010 you would need to search for an alternative anyway.

[Lights_On]

Hi Water,  I am in agreement.  The service provider I use has an API pack I could use perhaps - I have requested it and shall see how i get on - it would provide the same solution's just integrated into AU3 and not using Outlook as a processing system / tool.  Thank you again for you time and help.

Good luck
