"Declaration Expected" - Copy/Pasted DIRECTLY from the help files.

The import statements weren't copy/pasted, but everything INSIDE the class WAS copy pasted from the help file. Starting with the myMail.From line and going down to the SmtpMail.Send line, EVERY line results in a "Declaration Expected" error.

Yes that was already added.

But I found it. This was a STUPID mistake. That code was in the class--but not inside a sub or function. It dawned on me about 10 seconds AFTER I pressed SEND--just enough time for me to really feel like a fool. DUH! <grin>

Instead of creating a new class, use something like this:

\\\
Dim myMail As New MailMessage()
MyMail.From = ...
