Exactly what error do you get?  Do you have MAPI installed?  Here's the
declaration I use and it works like a charm, straight from the MAPI32.TXT
via the API Viewer (ok, with the data types spelled out):

Private Declare Function MAPISendMail Lib "MAPI32.DLL" Alias "BMAPISendMail"
_
    (ByVal Session As Long, _
     ByVal UIParam As Long, _
     Message As MAPIMessage, _
     Recipient() As MapiRecip, _
     File() As MapiFile, _
     ByVal Flags As Long, _
     ByVal Reserved As Long) As Long

using Text API Viewer utility I found this declaration
Declare Function MAPISendMail Lib "MAPI32.DLL" Alias "BMAPISendMail" (ByVal
Session&, ByVal UIParam&, Message As MAPIMessage, Recipient() As MapiRecip,
File() As MapiFile, ByVal Flags&, ByVal Reserved&) As Long
Recipient and File are arrays, not simple variables

This is the error it gives me when i compile the code:

            User-defined type not defined

You need to make sure you have the following structures defined (all in the
API viewer):

Public Type MapiFile
    Reserved As Long
    Flags As Long
    Position As Long
    PathName As String
    FileName As String
    FileType As String
End Type
Public Type MAPIMessage
    Reserved As Long
    Subject As String
    NoteText As String
    MessageType As String
    DateReceived As String
    ConversationID As String
    Flags As Long
    RecipCount As Long
    FileCount As Long
End Type
Public Type MapiRecip
    Reserved As Long
    RecipClass As Long
    Name As String
    Address As String
    EIDSize As Long
    EntryID As String
End Type

You should switch to CDO instead. It is completely COM compliant and can be
used without any "Declare" within VB.
Furthermore, it is feature complete which means you can do anything you want
when messaging is concerned.

From the last conversations I had with MS, CDO was not redistributable as of
then (about 2 months ago).  Bit me bad since I thought it was the best thing
next to sliced bread (at first).  It also has some problems running on WinNT
4.0 with the SMTP protocol.  GPF's everytime the session loses scope, either
by an explicit Set = Nothing or the procedure terminates.
