Nothing in particular happens. CDO for Windows doesn't use Outlook in any way.

Do you know what happens if you already have Outlook open on the pc
and then use CDO to send a message from another VBA application?

Yes it is IMAP, so the SMTP by sending either with the toolbar or CDO
should work.

Do you mean IMAP, not LMAP? IMAP is a protocol for receiving messages. SMTP is the protocol used for sending.

It is connecting to a mail server via LMAP which I thought CDO only
connects to SMTP server?

Not if Outlook is already running. Only one Outlook session can be running at a time.

Is Outlook really necessary to your Access application? Have you thought about using CDO for Windows to send directly through an SMTP server?
