I have both cdosys.dll and cdonts.dll on my W2K3 server.

We have been told by our web authors that their asp code won't work on our
machine and that we don't have CDONTS installed on our machine.

They're getting an error from:

Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

I know that the new format is:

Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Is there something special that we have to have installed to make CDONTS
work?

Thanks,

Tom

I agree and have already done that.

Our problem is mostly temporary.

We have a couple of companies doing projects for us and they are using the
same project for others.

We have W2K3 and others have W2K (which has CDONTS on it).

I moved CDONTS.DLL from my other machine to allow their code to work until
they change their code. But we are getting an error. Is this because it
has both .dlls (cdonts.dll and cdosys.dll) on the machine?

Thanks,

Tom

Well, while you ~can~ put the cdonts.dll file on your machine and regsvr32
it, I suggest that you don't do that. Use CDO.Message.

Windows 2000 also has CDOsys, so stop using CDONTS.NEWMAIL there, too.

I agree.

But if they want to be backward compatible with their other customers, they
may balk at that - at the moment.

But you do have to register it?

How do I look to see if it is already registered?

Is there a conflict problem if I am using both cdosys and cdonts?

Thanks,

Tom

Yes

Start > Run, type: regsvr32 <dll_name>

Doesn't really make a difference if it's already registered

No.

Yes, you do. And with 2003, you may have to go into dcomcnfg
(start--run--dcomcnfg) and verify that your IUSR account has permissions to
execute the component after you register it.


> How do I look to see if it is already registered?

I guess if it's in dcomcnfg, it's registered, but it won't hurt anything to
reregister it if it's already registered.

I don't believe that should be a problem.

Good point.

Hadn't realized that.

Thanks,

Judging from your error I'd say... well... um...

If you have an error you want a resolution to, you need to tell us
what it is.
