Ken: Well, CDO is, I guess, an option if we can't figure out what's different about this machine versus the other machines in that office. But I'd have to figure out how to get it loaded onto his box, and change the program - learning curve. And the implementation would take some time and this particular client doesn't want to spend any more money on his app. Which makes a lot of good solutions impractical. :) I told him it's like a car. You can drive your car a long way without spending any money on maintenenance but eventually it breaks down. I think he suspects it's a plot by the Programmer's Guild to maintain our cash flow. :) R -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Ismert Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 8:09 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Outlook Automation Problem Ken Ismert: > Out of curiosity, are you using Outlook simply to send emails from > your application?

I just had a pleasant experience using CDO for Windows 2000 (CDOSYS), a component installed by default in Windows Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003. For Vista, Windows 7 and later, the library is distributed as Collaboration Data Objects, version 1.2.1. (But, I haven't tested 1.2.1) Unlike the old CDO for NTS, I was able to easily send email with just the address and port of a SMTP server using CDOSYS. The component required no installation on my XP box.
