>I use OLE automation to send email when a user wants to mail a record from the database to someone. I format the message, show it, and then hand control over to Outlook to allow the user to select recipients, any flags, add additional comments, etc. When they push the send button, the message is sent and control is handed back to VFP. (5.0 sp3) I'm trying to record who the message was sent to for tracking purposes. (It's an auditing system) However, when I query outlook for the recipients, all I get is .f.

Could you take full control of the application? Ie, allow for input of names, messages, etc. Then you could instantiate outlook in the background and send it all the information instead of allowing the user to make all the choices.
