    well i use vbnet and vbscript to send email by using gmail smtp
    I’m vbnet and c# programmer but not really in vb but here it’s the code to send mail with vbscript using gmail.
    Set myMail=CreateObject(“CDO.Message”)
    myMail.Subject=”Sending email with CDO”
    myMail.From=”mymail@mydomain.com”
    myMail.To=”xxxx@gmail.com”
    myMail.TextBody=”This is a message.”
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing”)=2
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate”)=1
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername”)=”youraccount@gmail.com”
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword”)=”yourpassword”
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport”)=465
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl”)=true
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item(“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver”)=”smtp.gmail.com”
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
    myMail.Send
    set myMail=nothing

    to use the code i posted you have to create a gmail account and copy that code to your sub button click and replace youraccount@gmail.com by your gmail account and your password by your real gmail account password.
    to create the file .exe go to microsoft visual studio 6.0 tool, click on package&deployment wizar, it will tell you the next step to make your exe file.
    and for the confirm message in vb6 they have the statement to intercept the error >>> On Error goto and On Error Resume next, you can use
    On Error goto 1
    code to send mail here
    message send mail success
    exit sub
    1:
    message error here
    me too i’m not really good in vb, i just can do some basic thing 😥
    loco maybe have more info about that, hey loco show him some trick 😆

    to find the ip address of the machine that runs your app, it’s not hard.
    under your project add a winsock compoment and you can get it by calling winsock.localip, for MAC address, i dont know, i never try to get it, how is the utility to get MAC of other machine???? but I think loco know how to get maybe you have to wait he read you post 😆
