>Is there a command line I can use from within vfp to launch Outlook and attach a file to an email, all from within VFP

Here it is.

loOutlook = createobject('outlook.application')
loEmailItem = loOutlook.CreateItem(0)
loEmailItem.Attachments.Add("c:\autoexec.bat")
loEmailItem.To = "bgates@macrohard.com"
loEmailItem.Subject = "Here is the file"
loEmailItem.Body = "attached is the file"
loEmailItem.Send
