Thank you 6StringJazzer for replyDo you really want to connect directly to an SMTP server? Or is what you really want to do Send an email"?
I use outlook but I want find a way to send mail via SMPT without outlook.Do you use Outlook? It is fairly straightforward to use VBA to send an email through Outlook.
It is possible to do it other ways as well but Outlook is integrated into VBA.
