Re: Problem with email generated from VB.NET using Outlook

William
I got the user to turn off "scriptstopper" in McAfee to see if the problem
went away, but it didn't. She also runs MS Anti Spyware so I turned that
off as well and still no good. (Wasn't too keen to have these things turned
off anyway so in some ways I am glad that they weren't the cause of the
problem!).

So the problem must be software and DLL related??
Unless anyone else knows what could be the problem.
