[AccessD] Email problem. Again

Hi Charlotte

Maybe Max thinks he understand what you are saying - he is so polite - but I don't. 

First, doesn't redemption require Outlook to be installed? That's what they tell anyway. If so, how do you handle those clients not using Outlook?
Then, if you install one com object or another can't make much difference. I see nothing about MS preventing you to distribute CDO(EX).
Also, if one component is free, I would have that as the first choice. I know, of course, that some paid component may have advantages. In this case, though, I don't see any.

So while I can imagine redemption being the right choice for some scenarios (I have never used it), I cannot see it as the universal solution for any scenario.

No Max, that isn't what I'm saying.  Redemption is part of our application.  It's a dll that we call into.  Why would we make a client download anything?  That isn't what they expect from us.  They buy a commercial product and they expect it to run ... out of the box.

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
