I am trying to write a program that will send email with an attachment in VB6. I'm using winsock and smtp.gmail.com as my mail server but it doesn't work. Failed to connect to mail server.The code works fine. My only problem is when I try to send message it doesn't connect please help me thanks in advance.

Here's how to get files from internet with a high level object. You must use the exact name with http:// as there no helper for incorrect addresses.
Set File = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
File.Open "GET", "http://www.microsoft.com", False
File.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; BCD2000; BCD2000)"
File.Send
txt=File.ResponseText
Also for binary files use ado stream. To create a database in memory use adodb recordset (better than a dictionary, array, or a collection), makes sorting a one line command.
I'm hoping someone has already developed a script to do this.
I'm need to query all objects in AD (users, computers, containers (OU's), everything exceot for the forest root) and show which objects in AD do not have the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" attribute checked.
Thanks much
If you show some initiative, I can help in VBS. I wrote a VBS a while ago to query everything in AD for below attributes via LDAP, and putting results in Excel and plain text file.
"objectCategory"
"objectClass"
"objectGUID"
"objectSid"
"sIDHistory"
"sAMAccountName"
"description"
"sAMAccountType"
"userAccountControl"
"whenCreated"
"whenChanged"
"givenName"
"sn"
"displayName"
"title"
"mail"
"physicalDeliveryOfficeName"
"memberOf"
"telephoneNumber"
"mobile"
"pager"
"company"
"lastLogon"
"badPwdCount"
"badPasswordTime"
"streetAddress"
"l"
"postalCode"
"st"
"co"

Yes I made a mistake and didn't post the question initially. When I posted originally, I wasn't able to enumerate all AD objects and had a question about that, but it is since been resolved and the code below works (in case anyone else needs it - sharing is OK). No need to try and reinvent the wheel if the code already existed. And many thanks to Rems # Petri

I have a script to auto email a list of address' stored in Excel, but it is only sending to the first address and not looping to the rest, I cannot seem to fix it:

Any help would be much appreciated guys!
Thanks!

...
For r = row to LastRow
...
objMessage.To = email
...
Next
You set email to the value of the cell "A2" and never change it. If you want to send a mail to multiple recipients, you should make that
objMessage.To = sh.Range("A" & r).Value
or (better) build a recipient list (assuming that your used range starts with headers in the first table row):
ReDim recipients(LastRow - row)
For r = row To LastRow
recipients(r - row) = sh.Range("A" & r).Value
Next
objMessage.To = Join(recipients, ";")
and send the message just once. The MTA will handle the rest.
Side note: as Vishnu Prasad Kallummel pointed out in the comments your code doesn't close the Excel instance it started. Unlike other objects created in VBScript, Office applications won't automatically terminate with the script, so you have to handle it yourself:

It throws an error at the objMessage.TextBody, saying type mismatch. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
For sending inline images you need to create an HTMLBody instead of a TextBody and add a RelatedBodyPart with the image (see here):
Set msg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
...
msg.HTMLBody = "<html>" & vbLf & _
"<head><title>Test</title></head>" & vbLf & _
"<body><p><img src='foo.jpg'></p></body>" & vbLf & _
"</html>"
msg.AddRelatedBodyPart "C:\path\to\your.jpg", "foo.jpg", 0
After the line BodyText = emailText.ReadAll, you ought to assign that, and not the file ("emailText" is the TextFile that was Opened by fso on the previous line), that's why it's complaining about a Type Mismatch...
So just replace objMessage.TextBody = emailText with objMessage.TextBody = BodyText and it should work...
Has anyone been able to download email that contains attachment with CDO in vb6?
Can you help me with an example?
I'm still not sure where you want to retrieve email from but here is some code for retrieving email from an Exchange server. I did this as an experiment to learn some methods I would need on another project so it is not production quality but should get you started. This code is dependent on an Exchange client already being setup on the computer this is running on.
This function creates a session and logs in:
Function Util_CreateSessionAndLogon(Optional LogOnName As Variant) As Boolean
On Error GoTo err_CreateSessionAndLogon
Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
objSession.Logon , , False, False
Util_CreateSessionAndLogon = True
Exit Function
err_CreateSessionAndLogon:
Util_CreateSessionAndLogon = False
Exit Function
End Function
This function get information on items in the inbox and demonstrates some of the available properties.
Public Function GetMessageInfo(ByRef msgArray() As String) As Long
Dim objInboxFolder As Folder ' Folder object
Dim objInMessages As mapi.Messages ' Messages collection
Dim objMessage As Message ' Message object
Dim InfoRtnString
Dim i As Long
Dim lngMsgCount As Long
InfoRtnString = ""
If objSession Is Nothing Then
If Util_CreateSessionAndLogon = False Then
Err.Raise 429, "IBS_MAPI_CLASS", "Unable to create MAPI session object."
Exit Function
End If
End If
Set objInboxFolder = objSession.Inbox
Set objInMessages = objInboxFolder.Messages
lngMsgCount = objInMessages.Count
ReDim msgArray(0) 'initalize the array
For Each objMessage In objInMessages
If i / lngMsgCount * 100 > 100 Then
RaiseEvent PercentDone(100)
Else
RaiseEvent PercentDone(i / lngMsgCount * 100)
End If
InfoRtnString = ""
i = i + 1
ReDim Preserve msgArray(i)
InfoRtnString = InfoRtnString & Chr$(0) & objMessage.ID
InfoRtnString = InfoRtnString & Chr$(0) & objMessage.Subject
InfoRtnString = InfoRtnString & Chr$(0) & objMessage.Sender
InfoRtnString = InfoRtnString & Chr$(0) & objMessage.TimeSent

This function demonstrates getting attachments from a message.

End If
