Hi Carl,
This lines were sent to me by David Stevenson, if your users have installed Outlook 2000 you can send a mail from your app.

o=createobject("outlook.application")
oitem=o.createitem(0)
oitem.display
oItem.Recipients.Add("email address or name from address book")
oitem.subject="HTML Test"
oitem.htmlbody="< HTML>< BODY>< H1>Headline< /h1>< /body>< /html>"
oitem.send
oitem=null
o=null
This is documented in "VBAOUTL9.CHM" help, which you should have with your Outlook installation.

HTH
