Colin,

>I have used Easy mail v 5 (this is version 6) with VFP 6 which also crashed but does not crash on another machine (running VFP6 - I only have VFP9 on 1 machine) - could be machine related but I've run every sort of spyware and there are no viruses - have disabled the firewall - might do a Windows 2000 repare and see if that fixes it

>>>I am running VFP 9 and a simple program which does a SMTP send (Easy Mail Objects) - I run it once - the send is fine - I send it again p- the send is fine - then VFP 9 crashes

It really sounds like this control is stomping memory and with VFP getting the blame (the C05).

>>> Release SMTP

Is there any method you should be perhaps calling before you destroy the object? Have you tried setting SMTP = .null. when you are done with it?
