>>oEmailItem.Display instead of Send will show the Outlook mail item dialog form. As to the "CC", hmmmm.... .CC is a valid property of a MailItem. I'm stumped there.<<

Thanks for the .Display -- works great. The .cc is also OK. I think when I sent a blank cc or a cc not in the address book, Outlook was not trying to resolve the unknown name. Anyway, by using .Display I byPass all those problems.

Thanks again to you and other responses which might come in handy for non-Outlook mapi clients.
