Hi Rich,

Unrelated observation, but this is the first that I noticed in this code:

Why do you create oshell = CREATEOBJECT("wscript.shell") in the SCAN loop? Seems to me you need to do it once outside and then simply run the commands.

I'll look closer to the code.

Also this

FOR I = 1 TO lnRecips
>        oWWIP.cRecipient = ALLTRIM(aRecips[i])
>        oWWIP.SendMail()
>      ENDFOR

may send multiple e-mails.

In addition, do you have timer running? Do you disable the timer before running this code?
