hmmm. ok. so, I will declare the string variables, comment out BCC, and, find the correct SMTP settings for gmail. The reason I used the CDO option is because I don't have outlook. I wanted to make certain I have the proper code to test to ensure what i am doing with the form works. I found a few different codes that uses Outlook. What I am wondering now is this: 1. do you think it's a good idea perhaps to first check to see if the 3rd party has outlook on their pc first, if not check to see what mail server they are using and then use that server to send the attachment?
I assume it would be some sort of IF ELSE statement? what do you think?
