>Please, Please, PLEASE enable VFP to go through the Draconian email automation barrier that Microsoft put into Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2000 SP-2. (Ken, please take note!) Our customers are complaining -- to us! And we are telling customer NOT to install Office XP, and to stay away from Office 2000 SP-2.

I hope you don't take offense to this, but there are other ways to send email. I see this complaint about Outlook alot, and I just think to my self... well don't use Outlook! Outlook is the script-kiddy-hack way, and as we all found out, that wasn't a good idea. As VFP developers we have more... um... I suppose you could say sophisticated ways of doing this. There's MAPI, CDONTs, SMTP itself, lots of things, including loads of 3rd party ActiveX controls.
