CDO Email issues all of the sudden? VFP9SP2 app running for years without issue

VFP9SP2

Strange...code that has been working for years using my mbss.bugs@gmail.com as the sender now doesn't want to work. Good ol' Error 1429. See screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/Bxe0x4CX

I know some of you here use CDO. Did you notice any problems this year? I checked that gmail account and it's using the LESS SECURE mode so 3rd party apps like mine can send email with it. So I'm not sure if this is a GMail problem, a CDO problem, or Mike's laptop environment problem. No real changes in my environment except for using Avast Secure VPN plug-in now, and Avast Secure browser (but surely that's not in play here).

Ideas? tia, --Mike
