Access, CDONTS, Virtual Server and everything

[Ian King]

I'm trying to find a method of sending formatted HTML emails to our clients
from Access, and after failed attempts with Outlook Express and Outlook,
thought I'd try the CDONTS approach, which works ok on our website.

It works ok to a point, but all outgoing emails are being dumped in the
Queue folder, where they stay.

It's probably a virtual server config problem, but I don't know how to sort
it.

Can anyone help me get the emails to do an Elvis, and leave the building, or
recommend an alternative solution?


Many, many thanks

Ian King

Make sure your Default SMTP service is started under your IIS and STMP
service is running in your services. And also check on forwarding and make
sure this is enabled.

I haven't tried it myself, but another developer I know (Francisco Tapia)
uses BLAT to email reports from Access. He's got a sample stored on my
website:

I'd really like to know how it works for you.
