Recipients.Add generates Runtime error '287': Application-defined or object-defined error

Question

I am testing how to send an e-mail. I have copied the code below from the help files:

Sub CreateHTMLMail()
\'Creates a new e-mail item and modifies its prope         


        

Answer 1

Edit:
As the OP states in his comment to my original answer, changing his code to

.Recipients.To = "abc@xyz.com" 

solved his problem. I leave my original answer below, because someone may learn from the mistake I made, pointed out by divo ;-)

Original answer (careful, this is wrong!):

Try enclosing the parameters passed to the Add method with parentheses:
.Recipients.Add ("xyz@abc.com")
