Great reccomendation - SendSmtpEmail.PRG is probably one of the most valuable downloads the community has access to. I wonder who wrote it. I keep thinking it was Rick, ER or David F..

CDO will extract the desktops SMTP server name and desktop mail address - SendSmtpEmail takes care of the rest - it should be there for most OS versions:

oCDO=CREATEOBJECT('CDO.Message')
xCFG=oCDO.Configuration
IF xCFG.Fields.Count>12
   ulCDOField13=xCFG.Fields(13).Value
   ulCDOField15=xCFG.Fields(15).Value
ELSE
   MESSAGEBOX([Outgoing email account is not installed.])
   ulCDOField13=[NoEmailAccount@YourComputer.com]
   ulCDOField15=[NOSMTPSERVERNAME]
ENDIF
