CDO and outlook are a little higher level; Blat, vbSendmail, etc can only send e-mails and talk directly to a SMTP server. CDO and Outlook besides sending e-mails, can deal with objects like appointments, tasks, etc. Jim. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of David Emerson Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 01:06 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Ten most common tasks/problems in Access Hi Stuart, How does it differ from using cdosys.dll?

Blat does not depend on a specific (or any) email client and does not rely on the identity of the logged in user - so you can use it to automate emails from any address you want running scheduled tasks on a server for example, even if there is no email client installed on the machine. I've used it in some organisations that don't use Outlook/Exchange at all. -- Stuart On 19 Oct 2014 at 7:29, Arthur Fuller wrote: > Thanks, Stuart. I'll add these to my list.
