Hi,
I'm writing some codes that allow users to send e-mail
from Excel using CDO object. To make it work, I need to
provide the name of the SMTP server and I don't want to
hard code it in the program. I wonder is that any
functions that can get the SMTP server name in VBA so that
I can incorporate it in my codes?

Your help is much appreciated!

Regards,
Steve C.

Don't know the answer, but you could create an environment variable and read
that in the program.

Hi Steve

Never have look for something like this but look at this page

If you have setup a mail account in OE then CDO use the SMTP server from OE

More info about CDO you can find here
