Thanks for the reply - You are using automation to instantiate an Outlook object and then calling it's methods, correct? My only problem is that I cannot count on any specific email client being installed on the client machines, since the app is distributed throughout different parts of the world. I think I need to do this by using whatever app is by default associated with email, whether it be Outlook, Eudora, etc. Worse case would be to have the users do their own attachments, but some of the users have no concept of that at all...!
