Mike,

PMFJI, but can you use one of the Windows API ShellExec() wrappers (Ed Rauh, George Tasker) to launch an email session via the shell exec command 'mailto:name@company.com'?

I believe this will launch your user's default email application with the 'to' address pre-filled. (I believe there is a way to specify other email fields as well via the 'mailto' syntax). In the mean time your VFP application will continue chugging along in the background.

Does this give you some ideas?

Malcolm
