Visualbasic 6

[bkkmick]

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

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.

[bkkmick]

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
