Hi,

I've had this issue before and it was due to permissions being set when connecting to Outlook. It also seems to be happening more with each update that MS bring out (seems to reset a lot, might be due to local policies).

I would recommend checking the Trust Center on Outlook (File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Programmatic Access) and checking if you need to enable access here.

I also had an issue with this warning when the client had been running Outlook as Admin (counter-intuitive) but once they exited Outlook and ran it as normal it was fine : /

Best Regards,
Alan Rice

Another thing:

Your anitvirus has to be up-to-date. It seems to interfere with the programmatic access if it's not.

Try downloading Roland's sample for Outlook programming on http://topwizprogramming.com/freecode_outlook.html

See if the ConnectToNewObject works with that application. If so, then something you're doing is wrong.

Sounds like you're suffering a timeout from the database.

Which database are you using?

In Oracle, for example, you can set a parameter in the sqlnet.ora file too make the time out value bigger (can't remember which one it is right now).

Another thing you could do instead, is to do something with SQL in a timer event:



string ls_dummy

SELECT "dummy" INTO :ls_dummy FROM DUAL;



If you set the timer on your frame window (that is if your application is MDI based), then that would run every xx minutes. The database would notice the activity and not time out.



Another thing you can try is to not use a timer event, but do the select in the idle event of the application.

thanks for reply

yes i am suffering a timeout from the database.



My application is MDI based and i am using sql server ..

but my idle event code is

Idle(18000) //code

means database is dead after 5hours

but really, db dead error come in 15-20 minutes

what I do?
