I see your point about the MAPI controls. How would I attach files to an email if I use the mailto protocol?

Thanks

Jim

>> Thanks for the response. What I actually want to do is from within a Windows Application. The user will fill out the fields on a form and have the ability to click a button that will take some of the information on the form and create an email program from the default email client. The program will then display the email message to the user. My question is, does .net have a different way of doing this other than the MAPI controls from VB 6.0? If so how is it done?
