>Greetings, I have been all over the web researching email tools I can use in a VFP5 app which will distribute dbfs among various sites via MCI mail.

Hi Dave,

I'm afraid I dont have any input to offer on Crescent Tools, I'm still trying to decide between using Mabry tools and the Catalyst Socket Tools I had looked at in the thread I believe you are referring too.

Mabry Tools have a good solid track record from what I've heard from other VFP developers. Catalyst Tools is still on my list because it offers some additional functions I expect I might need to eventually incorporate into my data warehousing apps. Crescent I have heard of, but I cant really remember hearing any positive or negative conclusions from fellow VFP developers. HTH

Perhaps others here can offer some advice based on their experience with these types of Internet tools?
