Hi John,

>What is a "From" field? It's not mentioned in the Outlook VBA docs. SenderName is....I'm just making sure we're talking the same language.

Sorry, all I mean is the column marked "From" when viewing the outbox [the sender of the email]. If I create an email from FoxPro and then open Outlook and view the contents of the outbox, this column isn't populated. However, once the mail is actually sent it looks ok - SenderName is properly populated.

BTW, I've downloaded a help file from :

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q260/4/10.ASP

which might help me. The examples to create tasks etc. in this help file don't use NameSpace [just like the examples in the MS KB].

However, you've convinced me that your way is the way to go [because it works like a champ]. ;-)

The only confusion I have now is why MSFT's examples aren't coded like our working code. The examples are in VB, but I wouldn't have thought that that would make a difference.

Best.

Matt.
