Hi Theo

I am ok with the platform, I am running Widows XP Pro SP2 (and on an Athlon 
64 bit machine - that took some doing with SP2!).

The problem is acquiring CDO 1.21. You don't get it with Windows XP you have 
to buy Exchange or Office 2003 and others. And it seems you can't just get 
the cdo.dll from someone else and add it in yourself, it has to be installed 
by one of these other programs (at least that what Microsoft say - but maybe 
there is a way that someone will find)

Thanks for your interest

Ray
