Kev,
Outlook messages are just e-mail so why not create an e-mail message and send it to them. When they log into Outlook they will get the message.
To do this, you need the following:
SMTP Server - you can install the one that comes with the NT Option Pack (my preference) or you can use your local internet provider
software to create SMTP messages; choices include www.aspemail.com, wwIPStuff from Rick Strahl or IDSMail (haven't used it)
With these you can use your VFP application and COM to create an SMTP message and assign any From address you want.
HTH.
