Hi Steph

Can't you use

Note from my site :

When you also get the Authentication Required Error you can add this three lines.
..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "username"
..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password

Ron,

Sorry, but I have another question regarding your CDO code to send emails. At a prior company, I was using your code to send users
automated emails. I loved it because I didn't get prompted, and the email could come from a fictitious user (like
). Well, with the new company, the email server is locked to disallow emails coming directly from the smtp
server (I think). either way, when I enter the smtp server in the code, I get an error. I talked to the IT dept, and they said
they cannot unlock that because of security reasons that other users may find. So, my question is this - I am not so worried
about not getting a prompt. Is there any other way to be able to send a user an email using a fictitious "From" like
?
