Hi Kevin,

having grubbed the Outlook help files for a Send/Receive method several times without success, I tried to figure out how to click the Send/Receive menu item through VBA. This is working for me (VFP 7, Win2k, Outlook XP):

LOCAL loOA,loAE,loMnuTools,loMnuItem


loOA = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application")
loAE = loOA.ActiveExplorer
IF NOT ISNULL(loAE) AND (TYPE("loAE") == "O")
  loMnuTools = loAE.CommandBars.Item("Tools")
  loMnuItem  = loMnuTools.Controls("Senden/Empfangen").Controls("Alle senden und empfangen")
  loMnuItem.Execute()
ENDIF
loMnuItem  = .NULL.
loMnuTools = .NULL.
loAE       = .NULL.
loOA       = .NULL.
RELEASE lo*

You'll have to swap the german menu item captions with the english captions. Probably the menu structures are different in elder versions of Outlook. Would be interesting to hear about that...
