Andrew,

>I tried sys(2333,0) in the application object's SendEmail() method, and the method appeared not to explode with a GPF when the SET STEP ON code was enabled (although it didn't make the note it was supposed to make). When I turned off the break though, it GPFd again - Timing problem perhaps?

Yep, these kind of errors are part of my worst nightmares, when I encounter these kind of 'timing' problems, I try to insert a DOEVENTS() after each line of code. Maybe it helps in your case.

good luck,

Walter,
