Why can't you do this type of stuff with VFP? Is one of those limitations due to the nature of VFP that it will never be lifted?

You won't like this one either :)
IMHO MAPI OLE is a SMC. I don't know the VFP6 sample but in VFP5 I use it to email via Outlook Express, Outlook, Netscape etc.
But anyway look at WWipStuff in files section from west-wind. It's really simple :) You could ask to Rick Strahl to get a brilliant answer I think.
I used few Mabry controls (evaluation) before and got the sense they weren't global ActiveX controls but controls designed to work with VB specifically. Of course I should be wrong.
