I have started to use Nigel Coates MAPI class which is excellent, thanks Nigel.

I now need VFP to send the email without the user have to launch Outlook to do it.

I realise that I can probably use Outlook as a Com object and tell it to do a send, but I wonder if there is a way to send that is independent of the Mail Client.

I am being a bit purist here since all our users use Outlook.

Thanks all
