Developer have shareware VFP classes that will do Outlook Express or Outlook.
Unfortunately since it used the "SENDMAIL" DLL that goes to that Users default
EMail system. I have downloaded both and intergrated it into a project in less
than 30 minutes. The Outlook version has a facility for reading the INBOX, but
I deactivated that, since it opens it before you have a chance to verify who
it is from (virus perpetrators you know). However I simply fixed up a quick
form that I pass it the SENDTO (address) Prompt for Subject/Attachments/Text
hit the send button, if you are attached to the net via a LAN that always has
an open connection, it will open OE send it and get out. Outlook however it
just puts in your OUTBOX waiting to be sent thru OUTLOOK. Take a look at it

Hope it helps
