Outlook question

[mv8167]

Currently I use something like this to send my email (as it has been succesfull for quite some time)

Code:

Set oUtlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set newMail = oUtlookApp.CreateItem(0)
newMail.Subject = strSubject
newMail.Body = strMessageBody
newMail.To = strMailID_TO
newMail.CC = strMailID_CC
newMail.BCC = strMailID_BCC

If SendResultsInEmailMessage = 1 Then
        If strAttachment <> "" Then
                WScript.Sleep (3000) 'Wait(3)
                newMail.Attachments.Add (strAttachment)
        Else                  
                Exit Function
        End If                
        On Error Resume Next
End If

WScript.Sleep (3000) 'Wait(3)
newMail.Display            'Displays e-mail message window
WScript.Sleep (3000) 'Wait(3)
newMail.Send

Set nAmeSpace = Nothing
Set oUtlookApp = Nothing

Rescently i noticed that my emails are not being sent until I open Outlook.

So I added:

Code:

systemUtil.Run "OUTLOOK.EXE"

now i get 2 emails sent. If Outlook is open, i end up having two Outlook apps open.

Should not my original code just send my email without having to open Outlook?
