Hi John.

Yes, OE is installed on the server. We have been using this from the server for a year.

This is what I had to say on the subject in MegaFox: 1002 Things You Wanted to Know About Extending VFP

You must instantiate two objects to send mail using CDO: CDO.Configuration and CDO.Message. The CDO.Configuration object defines how messages are transmitted. If you do not have the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service installed locally, the message must be configured to use an SMTP service on the network. The CDO.Configuration object is loaded with the default configuration information. The exact values depend on the software that is installed on the local machine, but it includes, among others, the following items:
• Name of the SMTP server on the network
• SMTP server port
• SMTP account name
• Sender e-mail address
• Sender user name for the SMTP server
• Sender password for the SMTP server
The easy way to make sure that the CDO.Configuration object gets loaded with the required information is to install Outlook Express and configure it as an e-mail client, even if you never use it. Otherwise, you need to store the information somewhere and configure this object manually.
