This looks interesting. I've been thinking it would be cool if our app could email me the error log so I can keep an eye on the errors. (This would be internet mail)

What is MAPI?

Is there a generic way of sending mail that isn't particular about which email software the user has?

Another thing I'd like to do is put a hyperlink to our website under the help menu. I've seen it done in commercial software. Can you do that in VFP so it automatically loads up the browser and goes to that page?

Thanks,
