9/20/2005 10:41:04 AM    How do I install/use CDO?
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

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.

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. =

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