Email Excel VBA/CDO

[RayportingMonkey]

I am trying to use Ron DeBruin's CDO Email routine
http://www.rondebruin.nl/cdo.htm

But, I am running into some problems.
The exact code being used is as follows:

Sub CDO_Send_Selection_Or_Range_Body()
Dim rng As Range
Dim iMsg As Object
Dim iConf As Object
Dim Flds As Variant

Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

iConf.Load -1 ' CDO Source Defaults
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
With Flds

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =
"MyExchangeServerHERE"

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25

'.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1

'.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") =
"MyIDHERE"

'.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") =
"MyPasswordHERE"

.Update
End With


Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next

Set rng = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

On Error GoTo 0

If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected" & _
vbNewLine & "please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If

With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

With iMsg
Set .Configuration = iConf
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
.CC = "(e-mail address removed)"
.BCC = ""
.From = """TestyTester"" <[email protected]>"
.Subject = "This is a test"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
.Send
End With

With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With

End Sub

I'm not sure if I even have control over my potential issue - so any insight
would be appreciated as my IT Department is ignoring me...

When I run this routine with my Exchange Server and work credentials
specified, I get an error:

Run-time error '-2147220973(80040213)':
The transport failed to connect to the server,

If I substitute my home/isp information, the message seems to get sent to my
home account (I say seems to because we are quite locked down... I can't get
to my external email account, but I can see that a new message has been
received and that it has the subject I specified in my test), but it does NOT
arrive in my work email box...

Is there any limitation in CDO with sending to a domain outside of the one
the SMTP server is on? Or, am I just looking at an internal security lockdown?

Also, because I am simply trying to automate emailing of reports to other
users on the same domain and need to get around Outlook's security dialogue
box, is there a different approach I should be taking?

I really appreciate the help!

Thanks,
Ray

I almost forgot! I notice in Outlook that my Exchange Security is
"Kerberos/NTLM Passwork Authentication". I am not familar with this and don't
know if it's a part of the issue or not...

Hi RayportingMonkey

Security can block it
Ask your IT people

If you upgrade to Outlook 2007 you can send mail without warnings

Ron,

Thanks for the response. I am 15 days plus on my request for assistance out
of IT, so I figured I would plow ahead and try to figure out what I can on my
own... I've got deadlines to meet!

Amd Thank You for all you do here - You are a tremendous asset to the Excel
comunity!

Later-
Ray
