- Introduction
- -------------------
-
- The following information describes the Microsoft(r) Collaboration Data Object
- (CDO) 1.21 library and outlines the steps for installing CDO 1.21.
-
- The CDO 1.21 DLL is designed for use with Microsoft Outlook(tm) 97,
- Microsoft Outlook 98, and Microsoft Outlook 2000.
- CDO 1.21 is not compatible with the version of MAPI installed with the
- Windows(r) Messaging System. To ensure compatibility, Microsoft Outlook 97,
- Outlook 98, or Outlook 2000 must be installed for CDO to function properly.
-
- The following list describes which version of CDO is installed with a particular
- version of Microsoft Outlook:
-
- * Microsoft Outlook 97 included Active Messaging 1.1.
- * Microsoft Outlook 98 installs CDO 1.21 during installation.
- * Microsoft Outlook 2000 includes CDO 1.21 as an optional component install.
-
- Note:
- CDO 1.21 is a fully compatible upgrade for OLE Messaging 1.0,
- Active Messaging 1.1, and CDO 1.2.
-
- There are two versions of CDO 1.21, one for Windows 95 and Windows 98 and another
- for Windows NT(r). When installing CDO 1.21 you must include the proper version
- of the library. Using the Windows 95 or Windows 98 version on Windows NT, and
- vice versa, is not supported and may cause unpredictable results.
-
- Both versions of the CDO.DLL may contain the same version number but have
- different descriptions. The Windows 95/Windows98 version contains the following
- description: 'Collaboration Data Objects 1.21 for Windows 95.'
-
-
- -------------------
- Installing CDO
- -------------------
-
- 1. Copy the appropriate CDO.DLL file to the Windows\System32 Directory.
-
- Note:
- There is a two versions of the CDO.DLL: one for
- Windows 95/Windows 98 and another for Windows NT.
- Make sure you copy the correct DLL to your machine.
-
- 2. Register the CDO.DLL by executing REGSVR32.EXE CDO.DLL.
-
- If Active Messaging is installed, it is not necessary to unregister OLEMSG32.DLL
- or ACTMSG.DLL, although it is good practice to do so. Also, once CDO.DLL is
- installed properly, neither OLEMSG32.DLL nor ACTMSG32.DLL are required for CDO 1.21
- to function.

- Overview of CDO
- ------------------------
-
- Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) is a technology for building messaging
- and collaboration applications. The current version of CDO is 1.21.
- It is designed to simplify the creation of applications with messaging
- functionality, and to add messaging functionality to existing applications.
- For example, CDO and Active Server Pages enable you to add scripts to a Web site
- to provide support for creating, sending, and receiving e-mail as well as
- participating in discussions and other public folder applications.
-
- CDO does not represent a new messaging model, but rather an additional scripting
- interface to the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) model.
- CDO exposes programmable messaging objects (including folders, messages,
- recipient addresses, attachments, and other messaging components), which are
- extensions to the programmable objects offered as part of Microsoft Visual Basic(r),
- such as forms and controls.
