Sends the appointment, meeting item, e-mail message, or task.
expression.Send
expression Required. An expression that returns an AppointmentItem, MeetingItem, MailItem, or TaskItem object.
Remarks
When you run a program that uses the Microsoft Outlook object model to call the Send method, you receive a warning message. This warning message tells you that a program is trying to send a message on your behalf and asks if you want to allow the message to be sent. The warning message contains both a Yes and a No button. However, the Yes button is not available until five seconds have passed since the warning message appeared. You can dismiss the warning message immediately if you click No.
Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses CreateItem to create a simple task and delegate it as a task request to another user. Replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name before running this example.
Sub AssignTask()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myItem As Outlook.TaskItem
Dim myDelegate As Outlook.Recipient
Set MyItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
MyItem.Assign
Set myDelegate = MyItem.Recipients.Add("Dan Wilson")
myDelegate.Resolve
If myDelegate.Resolved Then
myItem.Subject = "Prepare Agenda for Meeting"
myItem.DueDate = Now + 30
myItem.Display
myItem.Send
End If
End Sub
If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to forward a mail item using VBScript code.
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set myForward = myFolder.Items(1).Forward
myForward.Recipients.Add "Laura Jennings"
myForward.Send
End Sub
