Currently logged in user's emailHi
We can get the current logged in user's name but is it also possible to get the default email form outlook of the currently logged-in user as well? The reason for this is that I need to email the users warnings from time to time. As the system may be running by different users on different pcs, I need to pick up the email of the currently logged-in user to send him/her the email. Thanks Regards John,

Just my thought, Cor I need the message to end up in user's outlook for record as there is some
information in there. The user can also forward this information if/when needed.

This is how the organization wants it to be so the user can double check what entries he/she has done from the reminders that have come in their inbox. This is a way to keep a check on what entries were made and also for user's protection so he/she can provide these as proof.

Sending mail is not hacking. To make it possible to get an emailadres from a system is opening ways to hack. You are not the only one who does what you say. The only thing is that the user gives than his email adres to you. You don't get it from the system. Even Microsoft does that, do you think that it would be very much work from them to get it from the system as they wanted that. As mostly the goods have to suffer from the bads.
