Thanks Cetin -

I will copy through and step through it.

Need to convince the powers at be, to pay for the upgrade to VFP7. I think it's around $1200 USD.

Got a client, who needs to send out email using aol . Our email object requires an smtp server name with supporting email address (originally got from WestWind years ago see below). How would we get around aol as I don't believe they use server name.

I would love to replace this with something that has a whole lot more functionality, like retrieving, send multiple attachments, etc., ideally work with existing mail servers like Outlook or something.

Problem, I am so unschooled in this area and need to be able to back my statements up before getting a go ahead. ANy ideas?

I realy look forward to meeting you one day, to personally say thanks for the help in the past.

Larry
