Bill,

Here's some sample code to use the MAPI controls that ship with VFP

activate window "debug output"

* simple test email program using MAPI

oleMAPISession = createobject( "MSMAPI.MAPISession.1" )

* Signon to mail
with oleMAPISession
   .UserName = "Test"
   .Password = ""
   .Signon()
   * Check the SignOn status
   if ( .SessionID > 0 )
      oleMAPIMessages = createobject( "MSMAPI.MAPIMessages.1" )
      * tell the message the SessionID
      oleMAPIMessages.SessionID = .SessionID
      debugout "Successful mail log on"
   else
      debugout "Mail login failed"
      return
   endif
endwith

* Send an email

with oleMAPIMessages
   .Compose()

* Set the Recipient name and resolve
   .RecipDisplayName = "DavidFrankenbach@worldnet.att.net"
   .RecipType = 1
   .ResolveName()

   .MsgSubject = "This is the Subject"
   .MsgNoteText = "This is the email text"

   .Send( .f. )
endwith

* Read the InBox

with oleMAPIMessages
   .Fetch()
   for i = 0 to .MsgCount-1
      .MsgIndex = i
      debugout .MsgSubject
      j = inkey()
      if ( j = 27 )
         exit
      endif
   endfor
endwith

* Signoff

oleMAPISession.Signoff()
