I downloaded BLAT yesterday based on your suggestion and have implemented it
for our mailing. The utility is easy to use and only took a few hours to program/implement
in our network apps. I have a dedicated PC that will do the mailing and that is all it took.
Thanks for the suggestion as our CCMAIL DDE was just pitiful....
