Thanks to Erwin, Francisco, and Paul!

Now I have two more (and better) options to explore.

Have you looked at vbSendMail it's free to download.  It sends email
straight to the SMTP server and works in VB6 like a charm.  I'm sure it can
be used in Access (may be worth looking into) Paul Hartland

Subject : RE: [AccessD] Route email to SMTP Server from Access You could
consider buying some ActiveX controls that do the job for you. I bought
several years ago the ip works kit for VB/VBA. They have SMTP/MIME conrols
etc... Using an SMTP server directly does mean more work. For example if you
would need to add attachements then you need to mime this. Further more you
can run into firewall problems at customer site..

Onderwerp: [AccessD] Route email to SMTP Server from Access

Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone!

I have a customer I am getting started with. To send email and get around
the Outlook security patch, I suggested either using Redemption or using the
Outlook Security Administrator's package. I then received the suggestion to
try sending email straight to the SMTP server, bypassing the security
problem. 

What seems to be required to do this is to either use CDO, of which there
are different versions (CDO, CDONTS, and CDOSYS), or a 3rd party product. Is
this really correct or is there another way? Perhaps a Windows API that can
be used for the same purpose?

I did do a search on the archives for SMTP, but because many people's emails
have SMTP in the email header, the search was not useful.

Anyone have an early Christmas present they can give me?

Thanks!
