CDO error

[culleoka]

I tried running the second script in faq184-1768 as below:

oMSG = createobject("CDO.Message&quot
oMSG.To = "me@nowhere.com"
oMSG.From = "me@nowhere.com"
oMSG.Subject = "This doesnt Work!"
oMSG.AddAttachment("c:\blast\ahn03i.txt&quot
oMSG.AddAttachment("c:\blast\ahn05i.txt&quot
oMSG.Send()

Yes, I used real email addresses and Outlook was open in the background when I ran it from Foxpro 5.0.

I am using Office 2000 on a Windows 2000 machine.

I get the following program error:

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from CDO.Message.1: The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.

Do you have any ideas on why I get this error?

Had another person try it from VB 6 on a Win2k machine running Office 2000 also. He got the same error.

Would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

I'm able to use the above code on a XP machine with VFP5a. I thought maybe the CDO was not compatible with VFP5.0, but it doesn't appear to be the case. I may suggest to re-install the CDO (uninstall first). And make sure you end up at leats with CDO.dll CDOsys.dll.

Mike,
This is a fresh install of CDO and still get the error.

Have both CDO.dll and CDOsys.dll.

I am running VFP 5.0a.

Would this be a Fox config file or an Outlook config file that needs to be tweaked?

No, I dont' think so since CDO uses MAPISession, not Outlook. It may be a CDO version problem. where the code I use works for Version 1.21 (file version 5.5.2654.6)

Thanks anyway. I will keep worrying this and post results if I can get it working.

I got the same error when I first did this. If your are trying to send the email out through a network or a LAN instead of just off a single machine, the CDOSYS.dll must be configured differently. You need to know the IP of the mail router and a few other parameters. I'd be happy to post the section from CDOSYS.dll help that I read on this tomorrow when I'm on my other machine that has the help.
