in the specfic case I am using for test, yes. No memo in this database or free tables, and tables are built on the fly, so no indexes will be made.

That is what I am seeing, but if I by pass the entire function, the file is embedded into the message and looks really bad.

>Also you may want to check UT Magazine articles how to send e-mails using pure VFP code. I haven't looked into your algorithm closely, but you may try to compare your approach with Roberto's code and figure what's wrong.

I found the March 2004 and November 2004 articles and am printing them out to look thru. I think this maybe a re-write < s > which I did not want to do, but may end up with.

BTW, I got this code off of Wiki, thinking it would work. It works great if you are sending TXT, PDF, XLS, DOC files, but DBF does not. Oh well.

Thanks for the help.
