Hello Dan,
Thank you for your reply.
You are right: I am referring to/using CDO 1.21.
What I have to accomplish is:
Sending EMails (+ attachemnts)
Receiving EMails (+ attachments)
Actually we have to support:
Outlook Express
Outlook
Groupwise
Lotus Notes
If I got it right the best solution for Lotus Notes would be to use its
proprietary APIs. But I also could try to install the CDO part of Outlook (it
can be installed separately) additionally to the Lotus Notes installaton.
Of course I have an Outlook CD and could try that ... but is the CDO
deliverable also available without Outlook (i.e. as a single installation
package).
Thank you in advance&
best regards,
Alexander
