>>I am using Outlook from my VFP6 program to send an email. I default the recipient, etc. and then show the Outlook form for the user to make changes and send the email. When the user sends, I want to retrieve the message text and use it in my VFP program. How can I get the text of the message that the user sent?

However, I have used this on old messages only (working on archiving into .dbf, Outlook seems to have no track of related messages). These properties exist for a outlook.MailItem object.
This works for passing a message TO the object, but it doesn't seem to work for retrieving the message FROM the object once a user has changed the text of the message. Any other suggestions appreciated.
