Seems that I didn't understand your question the first time. If you're
talking about CDO 1.21 then it doesn't matter whether you're automating
Outlook directly or via CDO. And if Outlook is installed and configured then
I can't imagine that it should be more unsecure to use it.

What I was talking about is the security feature that applies to both: When
you try to send an e-mail or access one of the blocked properties (like
e-mail addresses) from a outside of Outlook then a message box pops up. To
avoid that I recommended the Redemption.

Thanks, Michael! Are you saying there are vulnerabilities using CDO or
that
the security is too restricting?

Yes, it does. You might use the Redemption instead: www.dimastr.com

I am implementing some code in Excel with VBA and my IT guy is concerned
that using CDO to send an email may open us up to security
vulnerabilities.

Has anyone had any experience with this or know if the same security
applies
to CDO as to Outlook? (not that he believes Outlook to be secure...
but...)
