Outlook Express is properly installed, I can assure you. F.y.i. I have succesfully implented the CDO's vcx as pointed out by you and Andy in "1002 - Chap 04" without errors, however the short coding as advised by Vincent I can't get to work, so figured something must be wrong in his example ....

What happens if you remove the code that configures CDP from his example. Does it syart working?
