Just a reminder - you need at least Shell version 4.71 to use Shell.Application (the oldest versions of Win95, NT 3.51 and NT 4.0 pre-SP2 don't support the Shell.Application object, and you have to update the operating system components to get the support.)

Wscript.Shell's Run method, and the ShellExecute() or ShellExecuteEx() API calls can also launch the mailto and URL references. VFP6 has a _shellexecute class in environ.vcx in the FFC, and _urlcombobox in _internet.vcx from the FFC has a navigate method that will launch a browser and navigate to the selected page.

>If you want to create the entire email and send it without user interaction, you can use wwIPStuff, but it does not go through the default mail client, it doens't use a mail client at all: it uses wininet.dll to send the message directly to the mail server using low level windows functions.

>You can also look in the files section here for information about the MSMAPI control, but this control limits you to an MS client.

>For a lot more control over sending e-mail automatically, you should look into the Mabry mail control. I think there is a link from the front page here to download it.
