>I have done something like this in two apps using the MAPI Active-X controls that come with VFP. They are easy to use, but it can be a bit confusing. For example, I've had something working for a year or so with Eudora as my MAPI client. But when I tried it using Outlook Express that comes with IE4, I got errors. Eudora's MAPI seems to be more forgiving than OEs. But I was able to get it to work.

I have been working on other stuff, putting this off, but it's getting to the point where I *have* to address this. I've looked & looked (on TechNet, etc) and it's not coming easy for me to see how to use MSMAPI. In fact, to be honest, I've only been programming in VFP for about a year and have yet to make calls to any external libraries or APIs. I would appreciate any help you can give me pointing me specifically to what Step 1 is to get started on this process. TIA, Chuck Henry
