This video briefly explains how to choose which account is used to send emails from Outlook using Excel VBA. You'll learn how to list the account names of an Outlook profile and how to use the SendUsingAccount property of an email.
See our full range of VBA training resources, or test your knowledge of VBA with one of our VBA skills assessment tests.

With regard to my previous post, I've found the solution on this website:
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim objOlAccount As Object ' NEW LINE
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
Set objOlAccount = objOutlook.Session.accounts.Item(2) ' NEW LINE
With objMail
Set .SendUsingAccount = objOlAccount ' NEW LINE
.BodyFormat = 2
.To = "primaryaccount@hotmail.co.uk"
.Subject = "Some subject"
.HTMLBody = "Hi"
.Send
End With
Set objOutlook = Nothing
Set objMail = Nothing

Your video uses early binding.
Do you know if it will also work for late binding?
I tried this:
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
With objMail
.SendUsingAccount = objOutlook.session.accounts("secondaryaccount@hotmail.co.uk")
.BodyFormat = 2
.To = "primaryaccount@hotmail.co.uk"
.Subject = "Some subject"
.HTMLBody = "Hi"
.Send
End With
Set objOutlook = Nothing
Set objMail = Nothing
but it failed on this line:
.SendUsingAccount = objOutlook.session.accounts("secondaryaccount@hotmail.co.uk")
with a
Run time error '450' Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment
message.
