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 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2714320d-c997-4de1 -986f-24f081725d36&displaylang=en) Overview CDO 1.2.1 (Collaboration Data Objects, version 1.2.1) is a package providing access to Outlook-compatible objects through a COM-based API. Using CDO, a program can connect to a MAPI store, and then perform operations against that store, including creating and processing calendar items, and resolving and handling mail recipients. Starting with Exchange Server 2007 and Outlook 2007, Microsoft will distribute CDO 1.2.1 as a Web download, separated from the two products. Tons of references here: Google search:- "microsoft cdo download" You will also find it in ASP web sites, etc etc. It is everywhere and is FREE. Redemption is a COM object as is CDO. Same diff really, except CDO is everywhere and Redemption isn't. CDO is free and Redemption isn't. I don't think CDO is going anywhere in my lifetime...oops, tempting fate there..

Again No, Max. We ran into problems because CDO has nothing to do with Access. It used to be installed with Outlook, but no more. Several versions of Windows back it stopped being installed at all unless the user specified it. It isn't about Access, any version, it's about the fact that not every machine has CDO installed. You might be lucky but we weren't, especially since we have clients all over the world and Outlook isn't always there anyhow. We had to find a method that would work regardless of whether or not Outlook was installed or CDO was installed. Rocky seems to have the same issues, which you are completely ignoring in favor of what has worked for you.

Again > That's the reason we started using Redemption years ago Exactly, Charlotte. Years ago. And it is still here after all that worry! I was going to stop developing in A2k3 years ago thinking it would be around much longer and not only is A2k3 still here but people are still developing in A97! CDO will be around as long as A2k3 databases are around. And if the day comes, handle it then. I have been using it for years and before that cdos. But, I also use minirelay and send directly from my PC.
