Al,
If you can create an instance of the control from the Command Window:

lox = createobject('Mabry.SMTPControl')

then you can probably use it in a PRG using the same syntax.

If not, you can create a form class, drop the control on the form and instantiate the form class in your PRG code. Just don't make the form visible and you shouldn't have any problems.

HTH.
