Nope, it's part of Office/Windows as well.  But it is NOT installed and
made available by default.

Euh, Maybe I'm wrong with this but isn't CDO only available on a server
running Exchange Server?

Thanks Kath and Erwin,

I eventually found some code that doesn't rely on outlook but uses
another file called CDOEx.dll.  It doesn't leave any items in outlook.

In references you need to set the reference to Microsoft CDO for
Exchange 2000 Library

Public Function SendCdoMsg()

     On Error GoTo Err_SendCdoMsg

     Dim msg As Message

     Set msg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

     With msg
         With .Configuration.Fields
             .Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoAnonymous
             .Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
             .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "smtp.xtra.co.nz"
             .Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10
             .Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
             .Update
         End With
         .Organization = "my"
         .To = "you at yourprovider"
         .Subject = "Example subject"
         .TextBody = "Example body"
         .From = "me at myprovider"
         .AddAttachment ("d:\aaaatemp\accarch135.zip")
         .Send
     End With

     Set msg = Nothing

Exit_SendCdoMsg:
     Exit Function

Err_SendCdoMsg:
     Select Case Err
         Case 0
             MsgBox "0 error", vbCritical, "Error heading"
         Case Else
             Call basErrorMsg("SendCdoMsg")
     End Select
     Resume Exit_SendCdoMsg

End Function
