Always start with the simplest solution is my motto...
I've never automated CDO objects so don't have a clue. Should be easy enough to
find out if the message object has a UI. If not, you'd need to go with
automating Outlook instead of using CDO.

Well that answer sounds like the obvious easy answer but I kinda thought
that using this component was all for a seamless emailing and did not
have a visible component. I'll test that out and report back.
Basically, I thought there was no visible email client with this approach?

Hi John,
Thanks for your code below. It's pretty much exactly what I use for my

themselves before pressing the Send button to email it. (Paranoia?)
Thanks

Hi Malcolm,
But this customer--who uses Outlook currently--wants the email "prepped,
ready, and shown" in Outlook so they can review and just press the Send
Yes, thanks...spec calls for user to review everything and they have the
responsibility to press Send...the app will not auto-send it.

lcSchema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/;
loConfig = CREATEOBJECT("CDO.Configuration")
WITH loConfig.FIELDS

SendGrid, MailJet et al are definitely the way to go for bulk emailing, however
are possibly overkill for sending occasional one-off messages from an
