[AccessD] Outlook Automation Problem

Problem solved - using the simplest possible approach and without the
liberal application of the client's cash. :( 

I had him uninstall every remnant of Office (2000,2003, and 2007) and do a
fresh install of 2003 then do SP3 and viola! It makes an email just like the
old days.

I've always found Outlook a pain to deal with if all you need to do is send
email. 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.
