You will need the runtime libraries. And, yes, it can launch the client - one of the parameters is to show the client; pass .T. in for this parameter.

>>Have a look at the download section, I have a class there called MAPIMail that sends e-mail directly from VFP. You can write an exe in VFP and Fox26 can call this with parameters. It does work (one of my clients did this).

>Hello Nigel:
>With this VFP exe you wrote that Fox26 can call, won't that require that the VFP run-time engine be installed on the users machines? (I think the answer is yes.) Notwithstanding, when the exe is called, does it launch the familiar Outlook or Exchange e-mail dialog so the user can add whatever else to the outgoing e-mail message? In an app I did here, I use CreateObject('Outlook.Application') the eventually display the object. Does your exe do that too?
