Question
XP, CDO, Outlook and VB6 results in error
Hello everybody,
I have an application that composes an E-mail and displays the Send Dialog to a user before sending it away. I have used the CDO 1.2.1 reference. My code is straightforward and I don't do any tricks. While we had Windows 98 and the Exchange 5.5 client everything worked fine. Since we migrated to XP with Outlook 2000 I have a problem.
In XP you get an annoying message that "some program is trying to access... etc." so far so good. Users press Yes (allow) and the next pops up "a program is trying to send mail on your behalf... etc.". Users press OK on that one too and the dialog _should_ present itself for final inspection and sending.
That does not happen. Right after people press "Yes" on the second pop-up a runtime error "-2147417848 Method '~' of object '~' failed" occurs. I have no idea why.
So far I have looked at the MSDN and Technet for this error but I can't find anything related to either Outlook or the CDO library. Did somebody had a similar problem and if so, how did you solve it.
Following is my code excerpt from the routine giving the trouble:
Select Case True
Case optMethode(SM_EMAIL).Value
Set oSession = New MAPI.Session
oSession.Logon NewSession:=False
Set oMessage = oSession.Outbox.Messages.A
oMessage.Subject = "Klachtmelding"
oMessage.Text = sTextToSend
Set oRecipient = oMessage.Recipients.Add
oRecipient.Type = CdoTo
oRecipient.Address = "SMTP:" & m_rsContactpersonen.Fields
oRecipient.Resolve ShowDialog:=False
oMessage.Update
oMessage.Send True, True, 0
Set oRecipient = Nothing
Set oMessage = Nothing
oSession.Logoff
Set oSession = Nothing
A footnote on the code above, the assumption that every variable is a local variable is correct, except for the m_rs. That's a module level ADO recordset.
Thanks very much in advance for any time spend on this question.

Hi,
If security is causing the problem of the runtime error returned to my application, I would expect a different error number. I will look into the security page you gave. I will need some time to validate this, rather complex and this has a few big implications. I will need to talk to our system administrator about the impact on overall security.
I can't use a SMTP E-mail component because one of the requirements is that any E-mail sent from the application must be archived in the "Sent Items" folder (unreliable handling of the E-mail by the recieving party is rule rather then exception). The fact that the object model is locked down isn't the real problem though, it's the error message that follows.
I will let you know how and what.

This is a confirmed bug in MS Office, but more common in Excel. However, it can occur using ADO as well, as in: http://support.microsoft.c
I'm not sure it helps a lot, but it can give you a start where to look.

Hi,
I'm sorry I didn't respond to this question, but we had a severe problem with (how ironic) the E-mail server. (see question http://www.experts-exchang
As I said before, I had to discus the matter with out network admin. Since the mailcrash he's been very protective to the mailserver. He's hovering above it with a very big gatling gun and shoots everybody that approaches it. So I can't fiddle with security settings yet and test things out.
If the situation improves, I will let you know. In the meantime I will keep this question open.
