    Hi Lance,

     

    The CDO object is indeed no longer actively maintained by Microsoft, but you can still use it for sending emails (the schema still works even though its URL cannot be opened in a browser). Besides, using CDO allows you to specify the SMTP server port and use SSL for SMTP connections.

     

    As for the original issue with multiple attachments, it looks like the issue was with the parameter type. The SendEmail method expects each string to be passed individually, but instead, an entire array of strings was passed in a single parameter. At the same time, SendEmail always uses port 25 and doesn't allow using SSL, so it looks like using CDO will be a more appropriate solution.
