I see some of the new features in 7.95 are:

Support for SMTP Server authentication
Support for �locahost� SMTP servers

The CDOSYS doesn't seem to work for me. I have always gotten an error page. Now that SMTP authentication is available, I can use my ISP's SMTP server. The problem is, I don't see where I add in the SMTP authentication information. The Email COnfiguration Setup page is the same. There are no new fields to add authentication info.

Where can I do this so I can use my SMTP server and get my email functioning now?

Thanks in advance. Smile

Becuase having an option in the online admin section would require extra fields in the database I decided it was best to wait till version 8 for the admin section part to this new feature.

So, for the moment you will need to edit the file 'functions/functions_send_mail' with note pad.

You will find in this file the following at line 65:-

'If you use SMTP authentivation enter the username and password in the following variables
strMailServerUser = ""     'SMTP server username
strMailServerPass = ""    'SMTP server password

Just type in the SMTP server authentication details between the quote marks eg:-

strMailServerUser = "username"     'SMTP server username
strMailServerPass = "password"    'SMTP server password

Thank you again for the quick response. I edited the file like you stated and the error went away. I successfully received teh email notification now too.

This means, I can turn back on the email authentication feature for new user accounts. I have had this off ever since I started using WWF, since my ISP blocks me from running a local SMTP server.

Thanks again! Thumbs Up

Hey team,

I might be crazy but I can't find the code anywhere. Is this true for version 7.96 for access?
