Sending Email to 'X' users with an e-mail attachment

Dave,

1) and 2) need me to download applications and we can't do that. When attempting to use CDO using the following code:

Sub CDO_Mail_Small_Text()
    Dim iMsg As Object
    Dim iConf As Object
    Dim strbody As String
    '    Dim Flds As Variant

    Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

    '    iConf.Load -1    ' CDO Source Defaults
    '    Set Flds = iConf.Fields
    '    With Flds
    '        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
    '        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") _
    '                       = "Fill in your SMTP server here"
    '        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
    '        .Update
    '    End With

    strbody = "Hi there" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
              "This is line 1" & vbNewLine & _
              "This is line 2" & vbNewLine & _
              "This is line 3" & vbNewLine & _
              "This is line 4"

    With iMsg
        Set .Configuration = iConf
        .To = "paggarwala@board.com"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .From = """Piyush"" <paggarwala@board.com>"
        .Subject = "Important message"
        .TextBody = strbody
        .Send
    End With

End Sub

I receive the message: "The SendUsing Configuration is Invalid" on the line .Send below .TextBody = strbody.

Any idea why?

I'm using Windows 2000 professional by the way.

I know my co-worker has Outlook 2002 and it bypasses the prompt for him because he updated his registry. Isn't there a way do update my registry in Outlook 2003?

Curt,

Thats a lot simpler to locate the server.

I used the registry look-up (via VBA) when I wrote a sneaky bit of code to keep track of who may have gotten hold of a confidential worksheet.

Cheers

Dave

Okay a few issues:

Upon running the code, I recieve the following error at the .send line. I did find the server as you can see in the enclosed screenshot. What's going on here? Why does it seem like this issue is growing on me :(.

Help out! Is this because I'm not on Windows XP but I'm on  Windows 2000 professional?

Are you sure that you got the right server name? Every Outgoing mailserver I ever have seen typically looks like this:
mail.domain.com
 or
smtp.domain.com

Did you look in your Outlook mail setup to get the server name?

You can also get that message when there is a slow response from the server. Did you try it a few times to see if it was a temporary timeout.

How do I check the smtp using MS Outlook exactly? I was using the registry.
