Hi Nancy,

Check out the Redemption Control:
With Outlook Redemption you can

1. Make your VB and VBA code run unaffected by the Security Patch. [Note that it works just as well with VFP - AC]
2. Access properties not exposed by the Outlook Object Model (internet message headers, sender e-mail
address and hundreds more properties)
3. Directly access RTF body of any Outlook item
4. Import .MSG files
5. Directly access message attachments as strings or as arrays without saving them as files first
6. Display Address Book
7. Force immediate Send/Receive (Tools | Send/Receive in Outlook)
8. Track new e-mail events with (unlike Outlook) new e-mail item passed to your handler.

Cheers,

Andrew

>Hello,
>
>I have an application that generates e-mail to members of our educational community, giving them a report of information on file for them. When the operator uses the menu option for this procedure, th e-mails are created automatically and placed in the operator's Outlook Outbox to be sent on the date/time the operator has specified.
>
>My problem is that Outlook 2000 now incorporates a security feature that stops the sending of an e-mail created by another program (VFP in this case), informs the user that this is happening, and waits 5 seconds before allowing the user to answer "Yes" to sending the e-mail. That's a long time when sending 300 e-mails that were intended to maximize efficiency!

>Can anyone tell me how I can bypass this "feature" of Outlook without having to reinstall it? I'd also be happy to hear suggestions of other ways to e-mail without having to use Outlook (even though it must remain the default mail client on the computer).

>Thanks in advance for your help.
