>I'm looking for an ActiveX control to handle the job and was wondering if anyone has had any success (or trouble) with one.

There are controls from DBI Technologies (www.dbi-tech.com or something like that) the even had demos in VFP there when I last checked them (we didn't use them eventually - because we also needed Hebrew support but other than that it looked pretty nice)

Also you can always automate Outlook :)
