1. RE: Errors
Hi Vern,
That does not appear to be a valid return value for that function. But
then again, MAPI_USE_DEFAULT doesn't appear to be a valid value for
flFlags. What is the value of MAPI_USE_DEFAULT? How did you define
MAPILogon?

2. RE: Errors
Found out the answer to the first question:
>From mapi.h
/*# define MAPI_USE_DEFAULT 0x00000040 Use default profile in
logon */
but being commented pretty much deprecates it as a valid flag.
Valid flags are:
flFlags
[in] Bitmask of option flags. The following flags can be set:
MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD
#define MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD 0x00001000
An attempt should be made to download all of the user's messages before
returning. If the MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD flag is not set, messages can be
downloaded in the background after the function call returns.
MAPI_NEW_SESSION
#define MAPI_NEW_SESSION 0x00000002
An attempt should be made to create a new session rather than acquire
the environment's shared session. If the MAPI_NEW_SESSION flag is not
set, MAPILogon uses an existing shared session.
MAPI_LOGON_UI
#define MAPI_LOGON_UI 0x00000001
A logon dialog box should be displayed to prompt the user for logon
information. If the user needs to provide a password and profile name to
enable a successful logon, MAPI_LOGON_UI must be set.
MAPI_PASSWORD_UI
#define MAPI_PASSWORD_UI 0x00020000
MAPILogon should only prompt for a password and not allow the user to
change the profile name. Either MAPI_PASSWORD_UI or MAPI_LOGON_UI should
not be set, since the intent is to select between two different dialog
boxes for logon.
Hope this helps...

I'm not familiar with MAPI in particular, but the error number will be more
meaningful if you output in hex:
printf(1,"Error sending Message #%08x",error)
If you have a C compiler, look for winerror.h (or something like that), and
you should be able to find the error number in hex.

4. RE: Errors
If you don't want to use any of the options listed below, you can still
use MAPI_USE_DEFAULT but you must use it with MAPILogonEx. (This
function doesn't appear to be wrapped in parser.ex so you'd have to
define it yourself.)

When I've gotten errors like that, I've usually traced it back to an
improperly declared structure.

6. RE: Errors
Bernie,
Perhaps you missed my replies (or chose to ignore them) but
MAPI_USE_DEFAULT is not a valid flag for MAPILogon. You might consider
using MAPILogonEx. (I don't know if this is XP only or what, I'm just
going by the SDK docs.)
On the other hand, it just might work if you define the parameters
correctly. Try this:
mapi_dll = open_dll("mapi32.dll")
MAPILogon = define_c_func(mapi_dll, "MAPILogon",
{C_ULONG, C_POINTER, C_POINTER, C_UINT, C_ULONG, C_POINTER},
C_ULONG)
There are no signed inputs... Same goes for MAPILogonEx, which doesn't
look like it's any more difficult to use.
MAPILogonEx = define_c_func(mapi_dll,"MAPILogonEx",
{C_ULONG,C_POINTER,C_POINTER,C_UINT,C_POINTER},C_UINT)
Refer to my last post for a URL with more info on this function.
