Cool. Thanks Marcia.

>I like CDO too. Unfortunately, without Outlook Express installed or IIS insalled and configured, you still have to manually configure the configuration object in order to send the e-mail and you forgot to mention that < s >. My CDO wrapper class has code like this:

>WITH This
>  *** create configuration and message objects
>  .oConfig = CREATEOBJECT( 'CDO.Configuration' )
>  IF TYPE( 'This.oConfig' ) = 'O'
>    *** Check to see if we have configuration infomation
>    IF NOT EMPTY( NVL( .oConfig.Fields( "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").value, "" ) )
>      llRetVal = .T.
>    ELSE
>      *** Manually set Configuration properties
>      *** using the CdoConfig table
>      llRetVal = This.GetSmtpInfo()
>    ENDIF
>  ENDIF
>ENDWITH
