Hi

I am not sure what command you used to register.

in the Start button Run command .. enter in the box..

REGSVR32 myFullPath\myDLL.dll

suitably change in the above. This should register.

In my XP system CDOSYS.dll is available in Windows\System32 directory.

It is always good to double check: Make sure you have Admin access to the PC. As if you are not, you cannot register the dll

Brezhnev,

I just checked this out. I unregistered my CDOSYS.DLL and you are absolutely correct, you cannot register it after that without receiving the error you described. 0x800704da according to the Winerror.h file is "The service is already registered."

Now it is a bit of a misleading error, what it is really telling you is that CDOEX.DLL is already registered. So, in order to do this properly you need to:

1. unregister CDOEX.DLL
2. register CDOSYS.DLL (it won't fail this time)
3. register CDOEX.DLL


...Windows is just kind of particular about the order in which these are registered.

FYI: The mapi controls are in MSMAPI32.OCX, shipped with VFP, not in CDO.

In the FAQs, there is explanation of the CDO controls, which are different (and, I think, not redistributable, while the MSMAPI32.OCX can be redistributable).

Just to clarify, CDO is distributable, but very difficult to find. You cannot download the libraries from the internet.
