Error trying to send e-mail in VBSCRIPT..

[MarkWilliamson]

I receive the following error message when trying to send an e-mail via VBScript ( code is below ). I assume there is a .DLL missing but I do not know which .DLL's to look for - any help would be appreciated.

Error :

ActiveX component can't create object:'Outlook.Application'

Code:

ToAddress"USER@X.NET" MessageSubject="TEXT"
MessageBody = "TEXT"
Set ol=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set ns=ol.getNamespace("MAPI")
Set newMail=ol.CreateItem(olMailItem)
newMail.subject = MesssageSubject
newMail.Body=MessageBody
newMail.Send

set ol=nothing
set ns=nothing
set NewMail=nothing

MarkWilliamson,

take a look at these 2 scripts. looks like you're using the first one - did you try the second one?

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/message/smtpmail/default.mspx

did you look into blat?

MarkWilliamson,
silly question: is outlook installed & configured on the box you are running the script on?
did you try running the script with it open and closed?
if all else fails - look into blat. can be called from a command line via a .bat so it would be easy to dynamically create the .bat, run it then remove it via vbs.

Thanks for your advice !

LOL - yes MSOutlook is installed. I think it is just a matter of a DLL or COM object not being registered correctly.

If all else fails I will look into the blat option !

Thanks for your time !

MarkWilliamson,
if you think it's 'just a matter of a DLL or COM object not being registered correctly' have you tried running it on some other boxes?
another thing that just popped to mind is ms 'security'.
