I am getting the following error while sending mail using a button in MS access form

I am using sendObject to send mail using vba code.

The host 'smtp' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'pop3', Server: 'smtp', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Please help

I know that, this is a smtp settings problem. But where should i check this ... is this in my outlook client or is there anywhere the settings are configured in the code ?

Might be a little easier to troubleshoot this if you include some code. – Oorang

SendObject is so basic there is nothing for you to configure outside of your default email provider. Which you've stated is Outlook. Check the default profile.

Also see SendObject's twenty limitations and the Microsoft Access Email FAQ fpr alternatives to SendObject if required.

Even if you get past this error, there are several more limitations involved with SendObject. It's almost not even worth running this particular approach down. I would suggest taking a look at Outlook Redemption. I have had excellent results from this library for many years.
