RE: CDO.Message What am I doing wrong?

PS H:\> &"C:\Documents and Settings\bla\Desktop\Email.ps1"

MemberType : Method
OverloadDefinitions : {void Send ()}
TypeNameOfValue : System.Management.Automation.PSMethod
Value : void Send ()
Name : Send
IsInstance : True

that's all it says... it doesn't actually send an email.

Sorry... hit send prematurely. I wanted to explain why the ().

When you call a method like you have add the ().

p.s. You dont need ; at the end of every line if its a script. You only need
that if your gonna make multiple commands on one line. Here is example where
its needed
-- Code --
Write-Host "Hello" ; Write-Host "There"
-- Code --

You could also do this
-- Code --
Write-Host "Hello"
Write-Host "There"
-- Code --

Brandon,

Thanks for writing back. I tried it with '.Send()' and '.Send ()'. Neither
is working. Try running the code yourself at home, you'll see what I'm
talking about. Thanks.
