Gustav:

This version of CDO is easy to use, but I have two reservations:

1) I can't tell from the docs whether it is installed on Vista and Windows 7
(MS has ceased distributing the COM-based MAPI libraries for Outlook, also
called CDO).

2) When I referenced cdosys.dll, my A2K front-end stopped working. Removing
it fixed the problem. Changing the priority of cdosys in the references list
fixed it, but only until the next code change, where you would have to do it
again. A major PITA. Your mileage may vary.

Can you verify that the Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 Library
(C:\Windows\System32\cdosys.dll) is installed on Vista and Windows 7
machines?

-Ken
