NameSpace.Logon Method

Office 2007

Logs the user on to MAPI, obtaining a MAPI session.

Syntax

expression.Logon(Profile, Password, ShowDialog, NewSession)

expression A variable that represents a NameSpace object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data Type	Description
Profile	Optional	Variant	The MAPI profile name, as a String, to use for the session.
Password	Optional	Variant	The password (if any), as a String, associated with the profile. This parameter exists only for backwards compatibility and for security reasons, it is not recommended for use. Microsoft Oultook will prompt the user to specify a password in most system configurations. This is your logon password and should not be confused with PST passwords.
ShowDialog	Optional	Variant	True to display the MAPI logon dialog box to allow the user to select a MAPI profile.
NewSession	Optional	Variant	True to create a new Outlook session. Since multiple sessions cannot be created in Outlook, this parameter should be specified as True only if a session does not already exist.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic example uses the Logon method to log on to a new session, displaying the dialog box to verify the profile name and enter password.

Visual Basic for Applications
`Sub StartOutlook() Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") myNameSpace.Logon "LatestProfile", , True, True End Sub`
