Ric,

I'm glad it helped. If you have specific questions, fire away...who knows if I can provide the answers, but certainly someone can.

Houston is about to get a bunch of rain from tropical storm Fay. And they have a new football team (the Houston Texans. What a lame name!) that is playing its first game against the Cowboys on Sunday.

>>>Has anyone used Mabry's MailX control to send email from VFP? After nixing just about every other option, I'm exploring this one as my last hope. Does anyone have any sample VFP code?

>>This is an oversimplified example, but hopefully it will get you started. Since you need authentication, you will change connectionType to 1, and you will need to add lines for the user name and password properties.

>>Also, to make it more interactive and bulletproof during the sending process, you need to read the information on blocking and blocking mode on Mabry's website. They also have HTML examples.
