Hi

I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with VB6?

I've been trying to write some code to generate a(n?) HTML email that goes out via the outbox. I managed to get one going out before but there was no copy left in the Sent Items folder therefore we were never 100% confident that the email actually went out.

The latest attempt found via Google said that I must reference CDO for NT for this to work but I can't find that in my Program > Preferences.

Thanks

Mick

You might look at this Visual Basic control (free for non-commercial use). It does not rely upon any e-mail client (self contained) and you could use the BCC: feature to send the e-mail back to yourself for verification.

Nice one tywais.

Never thought about using BCC for verification!

That could work...I'll give it a try.

All the best

or you can just send it to yourself, you don't need to use bcc

or you can just send it to yourself, you don't need to use bcc

That would mean he would have to send the e-mail twice, one addressed to the party and one addressed to himself - not convenient. With the BCC - just need to set the address once in the program and that's it.

Hello again tywais.

I've downloaded the code that you suggested and had a look. I can strip out the bits that I need to add into my application.

$19 for the .dll is well worth the money.

Thanks again.

Actually it's free if you are only using it on your own local application and not distributing the dll/ocx with a production software release.

Even better!

I am using it on our commercial application but not distributing the dll/ocx.

(still I might just fire off $19 as it is sorting out my problem)

Cheers
