Hi everyone!



I am working with a small business server that is running Win 2000 server, 

IIS 5, and Exchange server.  I have been trying to develop an email 

program using CDO but keep receiving the follow error message:



?A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot 

continue running.?



I am giving up using CDO and want to use CDONTS.  I read somewhere that 

when exchange server is installed, it overwrites the SMTP services of 

IIS.  However, I read elsewhere that if I install Exchange Server IMS and 

Install the IIS SMTP service I can use CDONTS.



Is this information true?  If not, is there a way to use CDONTS with 

Exchange Server.  



Thanks,



Given up on CDO

It depends very much on your environment. Basically, you can use CDONTS

(CDO for Windows NT Server =3D> doesn't ship with Windows XP & Windows

.NET Server any longer) or CDOSYS (CDO for Windows 2000 =3D> preferred 

and

included in Windows XP & Windows .NET Server) to submit SMTP messages.

But using those you'll be unable to do advanced stuff like sending mails

bound to custom Outlook forms.



But if you tell us what CDO (I assume it was CDO 1.21) you tried, what

kind of application it is supposed to be and what problems you faced we

can probably help you to fix that stuff. I've done very much CDO 1.21

stuff and once I understood the security ramifications in an IIS/Active

Server Pages environment it was quite easy to get the ball rolling.
