Josh,

I have been unable to find any (detailed examples or instructions) documentation on MAPI in the stuff that came with vfp. I have even done a pretty extensive search of MSDN library. I find a lot of generic stuff, but no specifics. When I run my sample app, I launch the login method at which point I should see the login dialog (that is set to true), but I do not. It appears to have logged on to a session, and I am able to pass the session id over to the message object, but none of the methods respond (ie compose). If I press the button that activates the login again, I get the error that I already have a valid session running (this is what makes me think the login is working). If you could simply point me to the resource to which you were referring, I think I could take it from there.

Thanks in advance...
