Thanks for the info - I've actually started looking at ASPMail. It seems to do what we need.

Outlook store appointment information in such fields etc. Try to dig in this direction. Personally I have not seen or found information on this (but I know this just exists), so cannot help you much with detailed information. If you will find it, please, be so kind to send the links or references here.

>>We're trying to develop a VFP APP that will automate some of the HTML email process. We're trying to avoid having to store images on the web and having the email retrieve them when the email is open. What we want is for a person to be able to open our HTML email (with images) without an Internet connection.

>>I know this can be done in MS Word (create HTML file with image and select File, Send to...). When an HTML email is sent this way, the images are included with the email and open as they are supposed to do - (apparently) without downloading from the web.

>>Does anyone know how Word acheives this?

>>Thanks.
