David,
My last email to you seems to have gone into the ether!

Dispite your good advice and help my problem still remains.
All I keep getting is the alias names in the temp dir.

I've created a form based on your code and it works a treat except for the alias names.

My OE reports version 4.72.3110.5. IE4 is ver 4.72.3110.8 update version sp1. Win 95 ( I've just tried 98)
Foxpro is ver 6.00.8167.00

Using Mapi settings for new mail only. I sometimes get messages that are not in my mail folder,
some are tests I have deleted and removed from the deleted folder!

In short I'm still struggling :(

Are there any commercial controls that bolt on to Outlook?

Gordon.
