CDO problem

[DarrenWard]

I have the following code, it appears to be ok, and runs without any errors, but nothing happens. I am running outlook attached to an exchange server, but nothing appears to be created or sent.

oMSG = CREATEOBJECT("cdo.message&quot
oMSG.To = "me@mydodmain.co.uk"
oMSG.From = "Me"
oMSG.Subject = "Test messages"
oMSG.TextBody = "This is a test"
oAtt = oMSG.AddAttachment("c:\myAtt.txt&quot
oMSG.send()

CDO does not create anything on the sender's side. Did the recipient receive anything?

Hi Mike,

No, I sent the email to myself, and nothing has happend.
I would have expected some kind of automation error if there was a problem, but it all runs fine.

Being an exchange server (that requires a logon name and password) you may need to use the MAPI session which still uses CDO but has the logon profile name, username a password.

thanks mike,

I was using the MAPI stuff originally but the CDO code looked a little neater, I will revert back to the original code I had. There is more than one way to skin a cat and I wanted to try em all !

FAQ184-1769 was recently updated to examine the different possibilities.

Hi Mike,
I've used your code from FAQ184-1769 to send an automated email from outlook. But when I pass the the logon details for the profile using...

objSession.Logon(<profilename>, <password>)

i am prompted with the logon dialog. the logon name defaults to the value passed but the password remains blank.

(there are multiple profiles set up on the PC that will be running this app and I need it to use a specific profile.)

Do you have any idea why this would happen??

Regards,
Dave

You may want to check you mail settings in the control panel, and see if &quot;Prompt for profile to be used&quot; is not selected.
