I took a look at the help file even before I sent you the message above. The help file has information about the methods for sending mail & reading mail but I have found no information in it specifying to SET CLASSLIB TO or CREATEOBJECT("cusMAPI").

In my main program that starts my application I just insert the command SET CLASSLIB TO MAPIMail ADDITIVE? And then in my form before trying to call the SendMail method I must issue CREATEOBJECT("cusMAPI")? What does the "cus" stand for?

I appreciate your help... If I can just get cleared up on some the fine details, I think I'm almost there. TIA, Chuck.
