>>>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

Check out the files section. There is an example under "Classes" and another under "API".
