[AccessD] Email problem. Again

Yes, I understand what you are saying Charlotte.

But, if you have a client who does not have CDO installed they you are
saying that you get them Redemption, but you could just as easy get them (
or provide a script for them ) which downloads CDO
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2714320d-c997-4de1

Overview
CDO 1.2.1 (Collaboration Data Objects, version 1.2.1) is a package providing
access to Outlook-compatible objects through a COM-based API. Using CDO, a
program can connect to a MAPI store, and then perform operations against
that store, including creating and processing calendar items, and resolving
and handling mail recipients. Starting with Exchange Server 2007 and Outlook
2007, Microsoft will distribute CDO 1.2.1 as a Web download, separated from
the two products.


Tons of references here:
Google search:- "microsoft cdo download"

You will also find it in ASP web sites,  etc etc.

It is everywhere and is  FREE.

Redemption is a COM object as is CDO.  Same diff really, except CDO is
everywhere and Redemption isn't.  CDO is free and Redemption isn't.

I don't think CDO is going anywhere in my lifetime...oops, tempting fate
there..

No, Max.  We ran into problems because CDO has nothing to do with Access.
It used to be installed with Outlook, but no more.  Several versions of
Windows back it stopped being installed at all unless the user specified it.
It isn't about Access, any version, it's about the fact that not every
machine has CDO installed.  You might be lucky but we weren't, especially
since we have clients all over the world and Outlook isn't always there
anyhow.  We had to find a method that would work regardless of whether or
not Outlook was installed or CDO was installed.  Rocky seems to have the
same issues, which you are completely ignoring in favor of what has worked
for you.  YMMV

Exactly, Charlotte.  Years ago.  And it is still here after all that  worry!

I was going  to stop developing in A2k3  years ago thinking it would be
around much longer  and not only is  A2k3 still here  but people are  still
developing in A97!

CDO will be around as long as A2k3 databases are around.   And if  the day
comes, handle it  then.
I have been  using  it  for years and  before that cdos.

But, I also use minirelay and send  directly from my PC.
