We have recently released our Mail Manager product that would do the trick for you. There is a demo and trial version available on our website and from the files section of this forum.

Just drop it on your form, run and click the button to create a new mail message.

In development mode you can run the builder allowing form fields, method calls and other expressions to be mapped to various email elements, and have it automatically send an email for your current record or all records in your current resultset.

If you don't need all the fancy stuff, you will appreciate a simple programmatic way to send a message like This:

oMail.Compose
oMail.AddRecipient("ohenry@eastland.net", "Chuck Henry")
oMail.Subject = "Hello"
oMail.Body = "Sorry I didn't bump into you at Devcon"
oMail.Send


>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
