Hi,

I want to use some of the great CDO examples I find here, but they don't
work because I don't have CDO installed. I can't find anything, anyplace,
that tells me how to install it.

I'm on a coporate network and don't have a CD or network location to install
from. I can get to the internet though.

Also, I'm using VBA in Outlook and DO NOT have Visual Studio installed on my
machine. The only examples I've seen for installing CDO assume you are using
Visual Basic and direct you to the "References" item on the menus. There's
no such thing in Outlook VBA.

Can someone please tell me the steps to get it working?

I found a file on CDOLive named cdo.zip that claimed to contain the latest
version of CDO, but when I unzip the file, it only contains a cdo.hlp and
cdo.cnt file. I have no idea what to do with the cdo.cnt file although I
thought it was just a help related file.

I'm working on a critical project that needs to be done quickly, so any help
that can be provided soon would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick

CDO is an optional component of Outlook. Rerun Outlook/Office setup, choose to customize components, and you'll see it available for installation. If, however, you do not have access to installation source files, you will not be able to install it (or anything else from Office, for that matter), at least not without involving your network help desk.

Thanks,

I heard it was available for download someplace; is that not true?

If I get it installed, how then do I use it? I.e., how do I add it as a
reference in VBA? I might actually have it installed already, but just can't
access it.

I figured it out!! :-)

Corporate policy, for some reason, was blocking me and also hiding the menus
in VBA. I got that canceled and I found references right away and added CDO.
My code now works. Thanks Sue, and everyone else, for your help.

Sue, are you the same Sue Mosher who used to be regularly active on the old
VB forums years and years ago (e.g. compuserve)?

You've found it, so this isn't relevant, but just to answer this question
-- not any more. For a year or so around 2001 or so (if I remember
correctly), then you could download CDO1.21/cdo.dll from Microsoft.

Then they changed their minds, and you can't do that any more. There may
still be old references around to when you could, but they're wrong
nowadays.

Go TOOL>REFERENCES to add it (if it exists). If you Google around the
internet you should be able find plenty of examples.
