How to use MS outlook in an IDEAScript

I recently gave an IDEAScripting course and one of the participants had a need to be able to send emails based on a IDEA database using IDEAScript.  So I searched around the net and came up with the following that has worked on my home and work computers.  I have read that in some instances outlook might be set-up to reject requests from other software to send emails, if that is the case then this script would be blocked.  So in this example, I have five fields in an IDEA database, one of them is the email address and the others are information to insert into the message.  The following table is an example of what I used with the script below:

Sub Main
	Dim OutApp As Object
	Dim OutMail As Object
	Dim db As database
	Dim rs As Object
	Dim rec As Object
	Dim sSubject As String
	Dim sMessage As String
	Dim i As Long
	Dim count As Long
	Dim CrLf As String
	
	CrLf = Chr(10) & Chr(13)
	
	Set db = Client.OpenDatabase("outlook-Sheet1.IMD") 
		
		Set rs = db.RecordSet
			count = rs.Count
			rs.ToFirst
			For i = 1 To count
				rs.next
				Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
					Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

						Set rec = rs.ActiveRecord
						sSubject = "This email is for " & rs.ActiveRecord.GetCharValue("FIRST_NAME") & " " &  rs.ActiveRecord.GetCharValue("LAST_NAME") 
						sMessage = "Dear " & rs.ActiveRecord.GetCharValue("FIRST_NAME")  & CrLf & CrLf 
						sMessage = sMessage & "This is the body of the email, this is the amount " & rs.ActiveRecord.GetNumValue("AMOUNT") 
						sMessage = sMessage & " and this is the text " & rs.ActiveRecord.GetCharValue("TEXT") 
						On Error Resume Next
						' Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
						'MsgBox rs.ActiveRecord.GetCharValue("EMAIL_ADDRESS") 
						OutMail.To = rs.ActiveRecord.GetCharValue("EMAIL_ADDRESS") 
						OutMail.CC = ""
						OutMail.BCC = ""
						OutMail.Subject = sSubject
						OutMail.Body = sMessage
						' You can add other files by uncommenting the following line.
						'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
						' In place of the following statement, you can use ".Display" to
						' display the mail.
						OutMail.Display
						OutMail.Send   
						On Error GoTo 0
					Set OutMail = Nothing
				Set OutApp = Nothing

			Next i
		Set rec = Nothing
		Set rs = Nothing
	Set db = Nothing
		
End Sub
