Like when creating a label in Word you can click the Address icon which brings up the dialog that allows you to pick from any of your Outlook addresses. Here you can pick from any of the address lists. I wonder if there is a way to call this dialog from within VFP?

>Any idea how to add an email message to outlook express's queue so it will go out with the rest of the mail? I have tried and it always causes the dial up dialog to rear its ugly head...
I haven't worked at all with OL Express. Since it does not expose an object model you have to do it through MSMAPI calls. Maybe if you find a way to put a message in the Outbox without actually sending it. From there it will go out the next time you connect and send/receive.
